Vinaya, a Sanskrit word meaning respect and gratitude, pays homage to Bladnoch Distillery’s original founders who paved the way for the brand’s exciting new era of innovation and production. Non-chill filtered and natural in colour, Bladnoch Vinaya is matured in a unique combination of first-fill bourbon and sherry casks, a process which creates notes of fresh apple, sweet floral grass and hints of chocolate.

The James Brand x TIMEX Titanium GMT Watch 

The James Brand and Timex have released their latest collaboration with the Timex X James Brand Titanium GMT watch. Envisioned by renowned Italian watchmaker and Timex Chief Creative Director, Giorgio Galli and designed by the team at The James Brand, the all-new co-branded GMT watch combines the analog soul of the classic field watch with the formal, sophisticated aesthetic of an heirloom timepiece. True to The James Brand’s unique design aesthetic, the GMT is crafted into a sleek 41mm case rendered in hard-wearing titanium for durability while remaining lightweight and comfortable. Reinforcing the case’s durability is a screw-down crown that effectively keeps dirt, dust, and moisture out. Flip the watch over to see it’s fortified with a screw-down caseback engraved with the edition number, as well as a TJB branded sapphire crystal exhibition window to reveal the intricate 24-jewel automatic movement.
