Against The Grain Spirits

Hirundine 02 Peated Edition Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Hirundine 02 Peated Edition Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Hirundine 02 was the second release from Against the Grain, a peated blended Scotch whisky and the first in our Peated Blend Edition series. Released in June 2024, it was bottled at 46.8% ABV in a limited run of 257 bottles and sold out in full.

A bold step forward, Hirundine 02 introduced a new dimension to the range, where maritime notes and gentle smoke were seamlessly integrated into a blend that remained sweet and vibrant.

As the series’ first peated expression, it represented both progression and exploration — a continuation of the craftsmanship and curiosity that shaped our earliest releases. Though every bottle has long since found its home, Hirundine 02 stands as a defining chapter in the evolution of Hirundine.

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.
