2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold Medal Winner
A 12 year old single malt which gains its distinctive character from its maturation in two woods. Over its period of maturation is transferred from a traditional whisky oak cask to an original sherry oak cask. A smooth and mellow single malt; full bodied, with a complexity born of the skills which attend its aging.
“A good gulp of hot Scotch Whisky at bedtime–it’s not very scientific, but it helps!”
Alexander Fleming, Scottish inventor of penicillin, prescribed it as a cure for the common cold. Today Single Malt Scotch Whiskies are prized by enthusiasts and aficionados the world over for their rarity, age and complexity. By definition these must be produced in Scotland from a single distillery and made entirely from malted barley, using a pot still. The appearance, aroma and flavor of a Single Malt Scotch Whisky can vary widely depending on whether it was produced in the Highlands, Lowlands Islands, Speyside, Islay or Campbelltown regions.
