KESTIN X WOVEN | LOCH BAY
CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF KESTIN AND SCOTTISH CRAFT
Some collaborations feel inevitable. This is one of them. Since before Woven began, we’ve admired the way KESTIN balances Scotland’s landscape, craft, and tradition with contemporary culture. The balance they struck between modernity and respect for craft became something of a North Star as we defined our own approaches within the world of whisky.
This collaboration began as a conversation between Kestin, his wife Gemma, and Pete, Woven's co-founder and whisky maker. They wanted a whisky to mark 10 years of their brand, which, of course, we could create — but the real question was: what should it taste like?
The answer came in stories of one special place. Loch Bay, on the Isle of Skye. A place Kestin returned to for family holidays. A landscape woven with memories: salt on the skin, sea air on the lips, rugged coastlines, moorland stillness, and the quiet depth of time slowing down. There's even a name for the calm it brings that locals call "Skye Time". It was these moments we wanted to translate into flavour — whisky as a reflection of place, memory, and shared experience.
Through tasting, experimenting, and storytelling, we pieced together a whisky in our studio that captured that atmosphere. Notes of sea foam, pine, and heather smoke mingle with green apple, lemon zest, white pepper, and the warmth of charred wood and soft peat. Each note not chosen just for taste, but for the emotion it carries. Every sip reflects the feeling of a moment spent on Skye, quiet, layered, and expressive.
