Scarborough Stowaway Sea Aged Whiskey

Inspired by our Great (Great Great) Cousin, a girl whose first love was so encompassing she would lose everything for the one she loved.

He loved her more than life itself, but he would never, could never, ask her to leave her life in England to migrate to the untamed lands of the New Holland coast. Heartbroken, she watched her love leave into the night, never to be seen again.

Refusing to let love die, she hatched a plan to steal her mother’s jewels, to stow aboard the Scarborough, to wait a few days until it was too far to turn back, to declare her love & sacrifice all she knew for all they dreamed.

It was a cold winter’s morn when she was found aboard the ship. She was relieved to be discovered, for this was the moment she had dreamed of.

She spent days & nights picturing their reunion. What it would be like to be in the arms of her love once more.

There was a problem, he was not on the ship. He was not on the registry.

He was a liar & a coward, & she was a 15-year-old stowaway at the mercy of a ship full of sailors as dastardly as the convicts they transported.

She was ripped of all possessions & kept in the hull of the ship, as entertainment for the crew, arriving 8 months later, pregnant, abandoned to a hell on earth of weeping toil in flames of brimestone & boiling lakes of sulfur.This was her life.

A prisoner of her infatuated love for an undeserving man.

Leaden Hearts Scarborough Stowaway Sea Aged Whiskey is our Origin Whiskey,

aged at sea for 8 months, matured in the hull of a ship in the freezing waters of the Southern Ocean, as she was.

A whiskey for all who have loved with a passion that burned brighter than any flame,

& to all those who were burned by it, never to be the same again.

In honor of her, all she stood for, & all who share her lovelorn spirit,
this is for You.
