Against The Grain

Hirundine 01 13 Year Old Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Hirundine 01 13 Year Old Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Hirundine 01 was the first release from Against the Grain, a 13-year-old blended malt Scotch whisky matured in a single Sherry cask, a first step in the journey of a new whisky series. Released in March 2024, the entire run of 222 bottles sold out in just 90 minutes.

As the inaugural expression, it marked the beginning of a story defined by craftsmanship, patience, and a quiet ambition to create something rare and memorable. Though it sold out quickly, Hirundine 01 remains a milestone in the early chapters of Against the Grain.

Our Story

Our whisky is named after the Hirundine, the elegant bird of the swallow family.

Like the Hirundine, our whisky embodies a journey across continents and seasons. These birds semi-migrate between South Africa and the UK, braving dark, cold, and often challenging winters north of the Wall, in search of sun, warmth, and new opportunities.

Their wanderlust mirrors our own journey - a quest for excellence and discovery.
