The Third Chapter Begins – And the Journey Continues Across the Atlantic
Some stories deserve to travel further.
Since the launch of the first Corporal Wojtek release, our goal has never been simply to bottle exceptional Scotch whisky. Every release has been a tribute to one of the most remarkable true stories of the Second World War—the extraordinary journey of Wojtek, the Syrian brown bear who became a Corporal in the Polish II Corps and marched with soldiers from the Middle East to the Battle of Monte Cassino.
What began as a single independent bottling soon became something much bigger.
Collectors, whisky enthusiasts and, perhaps most importantly, people of Polish heritage embraced the series with incredible enthusiasm. Time and again we received messages telling us that this was more than just another whisky release. It was a bottle that celebrated courage, friendship and a shared piece of history.
As the collection grew across Europe, another question began appearing more and more often:
"When will Corporal Wojtek be available in the United States?"
The answer is finally here.
Created for the Next Chapter
The Corporal Wojtek 21 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky is the third release in the collection and represents an important milestone for the brand.
While previous releases focused on limited single malts, we wanted the third chapter to become the whisky that would introduce the Corporal Wojtek Collection to a much wider audience. The result is a beautifully balanced 21-year-old Blended Scotch Whisky, created from carefully selected mature malt and grain whiskies, all aged for a minimum of twenty-one years.
The objective was clear: produce a whisky that offers genuine maturity, outstanding drinkability and exceptional value, while remaining true to the story that inspired the entire collection.
Rich yet approachable, elegant yet full of character, it is a whisky designed to be opened, shared and remembered.
Why America?
Over the past few years we have received countless enquiries from collectors, retailers and whisky enthusiasts throughout the United States asking when the Corporal Wojtek series would finally become available.
Those requests became impossible to ignore.
At the same time, we recognised that many American cities are home to vibrant Polish-American communities, where Wojtek's remarkable story continues to be passed down through generations. For many people, Wojtek is more than a historical figure—he is a symbol of resilience, loyalty and the extraordinary bond forged during one of history's most difficult periods.
We believe this whisky will resonate not only with whisky lovers, but also with everyone who already knows—and cherishes—Wojtek's story.
A Whisky That Starts Conversations
Exceptional whisky may bring someone to the shelf.
An exceptional story is what makes them remember it.
Every bottle of Corporal Wojtek invites conversation. It introduces new drinkers to one of history's most unlikely heroes while giving those already familiar with Wojtek another way to celebrate his incredible legacy.
That combination of authentic storytelling and carefully selected Scotch whisky has become the hallmark of the collection.
The Journey Continues
The arrival of the 21 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky marks more than another release.
It marks the beginning of the Corporal Wojtek Collection's journey into the United States.
Working alongside our US partners, we are excited to bring the collection to American retailers and whisky enthusiasts who have patiently waited for this moment. The first allocations will be limited, but this is only the beginning.
The story of Corporal Wojtek has crossed continents before.
Now, it is ready to conquer another.
