Unkiltered was co-founded by siblings Luke and Anna Patience who began the brand’s journey through a shared love of whisky.

Luke, a 3-time Olympian and silver medallist, was looking for a new challenge after retiring from Olympic sailing. While bouncing around ideas for the future over a dram (or few), they realised that Luke's knowledge of all things whisky + Anna's background as a graphic designer could be the perfect blend of skills and passion to start something exciting (and have a few more drams).

After a successful launch and selling out their first release of 3 bottlings, Ryan Grant joined them in late 2024, bringing a wealth of experience to the business though his background in the spirits industry as founder of The Caledonian Cask Partnership and also the multi-award winning Garden Shed Drinks Company. He’s an excellent team player thanks to his successful International Rugby career playing for both Scotland and the British Lions.

The trio are united by a simple goal: to combine exceptional liquid with great looking design to create memorable whisky that people love.

Unkiltered continues to grow into something that they are all really proud of, and they hope you enjoy their whisky as much as they enjoy creating it.
