About Spiritfiled’s Mythical Beast, The Stratford Lyon

When John de Stratford surveyed his lands 600 years ago and came across a huge pair of antlers in the ground, he could never have imagined what he was about to uncover.

Hidden beneath the earth for centuries, until dragged into the light in medieval times, was this King of beasts, a giant lion, blood-red in hue, with a crown of mighty antlers on its brow.

A battle of wits ensured, but de Stratford calmed the beast, which remained loyal to its adopted kin ever thereafter, appearing in the shadows to share joy in festive times and comfort in times of sorrow.

Unexpected, surprising, unpredictable.

Savour the fire of this powerful English beast, tamed just enough to make it good company.

Meet The Founders

Russell Spratley and Ross Archer

Spiritfilled was founded by two entrepreneurial best friends, who both love whisky. Russell and Ross stared Spiritfilled as cask broker, helping clients around the world to buy and sell quality whisky casks.

As they explored the warehouses of Scotland, Russell and Ross would discover certain casks they'd fall in love with. They couldn't part ways with these super special casks, and so decided to bottle these themselves. Mythical Beasts is their independent bottler label, under which they release their single cask whiskies.
