A short ferry ride from the Kintyre peninsula, the Lochranza Distillery is located in the town of the same name on the most northern tip of the island. There is much confusion in the distillery’s region – it’s a short jump from Campbeltown but also not far from the Lowlands region. Or is it an island whisky? Technically, it’s none of the above, it’s classified as Highland distillery because of its locale on the north part of the isle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Lochranza Distillery and its neighbor on the south of the isle, the Lagg Distillery are both owned by the Isle of Arran Distillers Limited, an independent and privately held company.

Instead of a normal return of principal plus interest to the investors, each received 10 cases of Arran whisky (five in 1998 and five in 2001) for just 450 GBP. At well under 10 GBP\/bottle that sounds like a great investment to us!

As a distilling site, it’s a fairly new venture, established in 1949 by the distinguished distillery architect, William Delme-Evans. The site’s origins are quite interesting though, as the local brewery (predecessor to the distillery) recorded the first ever purchase of beer in 1488 when King James the 4\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e of Scotland stopped to purchase a cask of ale following his coronation. The king enjoyed the beer so much that a few years later in 1503 he awarded the brewery the first Royal Charter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSet at the foot of the Ochil Hills, Tullibardine’s water source, the Danny Burn, passes through layers of basalt and sandstone before delivering its fresh water to the distillery. The water in this area is renowned for its quality, Highland Spring, Scotland’s popular bottled spring water is sourced from the same hills. Yes, that’s the bottle with the purple thistle branding available in every Tesco and Morrison’s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThroughout the mid-20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century, Tullibardine changed hands several times, from the original owner to blender Brodie Hepburn to Invergordon and eventually to Whyte \u0026amp; Mackay, who quickly shut down the distillery in 1994. Prior to its shutdown, Tullibardine was known around town as a floral and nutty malt used primarily in blends. In 2003, Tullibardine Distillery was resurrected and its new owners focused on introducing the single malt Tullibardine to markets worldwide. Finding most of the existing stock in old and worn barrels (acceptable for blends but necessarily a prestigious single malt), the new owners embarked on an extensive re-casking project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eToday Tullibardine is owned by French conglomerate Picard Vins \u0026amp; Spiritueux, who continue the previous owners' goal of producing a premium single malt. Tullibardine’s core range now includes multiple age statements and cask types. The spirit retains its light and fruity notes but the nuttiness of ages past has been replaced.

Even today, most of the distillate produced at Blair Athol ends up in Bell’s. Diageo does release a single malt under its Flora and Fauna series and can you guess which creature graces these bottles? The otter, of course, which frolics in the waters of the Allt Dour. Most single malt releases of Blair Athol come from independent bottlers including this wine barrique finished cask from Lady of the Glen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Lady of the Glen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42030931411014,"sku":"3997","price":104.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/1920\/2630\/files\/LOTG_-_Blair_Athol.png?v=1736714666"},{"product_id":"lady-of-the-glen-15-yr-royal-brackla-single-malt-scotch-whisky","title":"Lady of the Glen - 15 yo Royal Brackla, Refill Bourbon Barrel, Cask No. # 6787, 54.9% Alc\/Vol, 700ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCask Number: \u003c\/b\u003e#6787\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 years\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eABV: \u003c\/b\u003e54.9% Bottled at Cask Strength\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCask Type: \u003c\/b\u003eFully matured in a refill bourbon barrel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBottles: \u003c\/b\u003e232\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes: \u003c\/strong\u003eA fruity distillate with honey, malt and spicy notes.

In its early days, the distillate was known for its smoky peated flavor. Today’s vintage, however, is unpeated and is a significant component of Dewar’s blends.

Throughout the years, the distillery went through several owners and more renovations, including the addition of a second still house. Now owned by Diageo, it was for a time used as a research site to explore the impacts and effects of copper, reflux and worm tubs on scotch whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLinkwood’s six stills are pear shaped and with tall conical necks. Its wort is extremely clear, its fermentation period very long and its copper contact maximized. All of these contribute to the quintessential Linkwood fragrance, notes of a spring meadow sprinkled with apple and peach orchards. Popular in Diageo blends, the spirit’s fresh and light aromas carry through to the palate, along with a thick full body that’s appreciated by those scotch drinkers lucky enough to get their hands on a single malt bottling. Diageo releases Linkwood single malts in its Flora and Fauna series (not available to the U.S. market) but independent bottler releases are very popular among whisky fans across the United Kingdom and continental Europe. We are excited to bring you this single cask, single malt Linkwood from Creetown Distillers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"CREETOWN DISTILLERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42031731638342,"sku":"3992","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/1920\/2630\/files\/CTLinkwood8.png?v=1736715496"},{"product_id":"cree-14-yo-fettercairn-bourbon-barrel-hogshead-800320-52-0-alc-vol-700-ml","title":"Cree - 14 yo Fettercairn, Bourbon Barrel Hogshead # 800320, 52.0% Alc\/Vol, 700 ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCask Number: \u003c\/b\u003e800320\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 years\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eABV: \u003c\/b\u003e52.0%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCask Type: \u003c\/b\u003eBourbon Barrel Hogshead\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBottles:\u003c\/b\u003e 303\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA light and gentle dram\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNose: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHoney, malty, whole wheat toast \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePalate:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eA buttery sugar cookie, touch of vanilla \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Szechuan pepper transitions to cinnamon \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural color, non-chill filtered.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Fettercairn Distillery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTo the seasoned whisky drinker, Fettercairn is synonymous with the unicorn, the elegant mythical animal gracing its bottles and merchandise. We like to think of this independent bottling of Fettercairn from Creetown Distillers as a bit of unicorn bottling too, as it isn’t too often indie bottlers can get their hands on the Fettercairn liquid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Fettercairn Distillery is an eastern highland distillery located about halfway between the coastal towns of Dundee and Aberdeen at the base of the Cairngorm mountains. Founded in 1824, by local Alexander Ramsay, the Fettercairn Distillery turned hands shortly after its inception when in 1830, it was sold to John Gladstone. Interestingly, Sir John was the father of four-time British prime minister, William Ewart Gladstone. The distillery changed hands several more times over the years and today it is a part of the Whyte \u0026amp; Mackay portfolio. For many years, Fettercairn was primarily used in blends but in 2018, Whyte \u0026amp; Mackay launched a re-brand of the Fettercairn brand, releasing several single malts of various age statements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhat really makes Fettercairn different from other distilleries is its unique still set up. In the 1950’s the distillery decided to do a little experimentation – they tried a bunch of different things but one in particular, an unusual contraption that runs cool water down the outside of the still and cools the copper resonated with the team. That experimentation was such a success, Fettercairn still runs fresh water from the Cairngorms down the side of its stills today. The team claims that the cool mountain water running on the stills gives Fettercairn those fruity tropical notes everyone loves. Can you taste the difference in the whisky?

Founded in 1885 by Andrew Usher, William Sanderson and John Crabbie, these three industry titans joined forces to ensure their independent blending houses had a direct and reliable source for their grain spirit. The team raised funds from local business owners to finance the distillery, which sounds a lot like crowd funding today.

Lingdarroch is the trade name for the peated distillate from the most southernly distillery in Scotland. Need another hint? It’s located in Scotland’s National Book Town, Wigtown and produces both peated and non-peated whiskies. It’s also a quick boat ride across the Irish Sea to Northern Ireland. Still not sure, we’ll spill the beans, Lingdarroch hails from the beautiful Bladnoch Distillery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWe thought it would be fun to let the US taste how the liquid comes right off the Scottish stills. This peated new make spirit, does just that. Bottled at 62.9% ABV, this is an unaged spirit, with absolutely no dilution or added water; not for the faint of heart. Taste it, share it or age it on your own. Experiment with how aging, time in the wood and flavors add to and enhance this high-quality liquid from Bladnoch Distillery. Consider a whisky making kit or bar top mini barrel to age your own whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCurious about where this marvelous new make hails from? Here’s a bit more about Scotland’s most southernly distillery. Like many distilleries, Bladnoch traces its roots to farming, with two brothers securing a license to officially distill whisky on their farm in 1817. For nearly a century, the distillery stayed with the family until 1905 when production was shut down due to lower demand for scotch whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn 1911, the distillery was resurrected by Dunville \u0026amp; Co, a Belfast distiller who saw the potential but once again in 1937, Bladnoch was shuttered. Many additional owners came and went over the years, including Ross \u0026amp; Coulter (who actually sold off the aging stock and the distilling equipment), Inver House, Bell’s, and Diageo. In 1993, Guiness (now part of Diageo decommissioned Bladnoch and it sat empty until two more brothers came along. These brothers, the Armstrongs hailed from Northern Ireland and originally had plans for a resort at the site, but they too soon caught the whisky bug. However, as the terms of the sales contract with Diageo prohibited them from making whisky on site, it took a long six years for them to persuade Diageo to allow them to produce a small amount of spirit. So small that the whisky production was never really profitable and the brothers made most of their income from tourism and on-site storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFast forward to today, and the Bladnoch Distillery is thriving under the ownership of Australian businessman David Prior. Prior purchased Bladnoch in 2015 and after extensive refurbishment, the stills once again began flowing in 2017. \u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIn 2019, Master Distiller Dr. Nick Savage, formerly of The Macallan, joined Bladnoch.

Yes, that Tain, home to that other distillery that sounds like orange (when properly pronounced). But for those who know Balblair, they know it’s certainly not a second fiddle to its neighbor Glenmorangie. Founded in 1790, Balblair holds its own against the many other Highland malts. It’s one of Scotland’s most northern distilleries, its name meaning both fertile valley and battlefield, stemming from its landscape and a face off between the Vikings and the Picts in centuries past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLike many of the traditional scotch distilleries, Balblair relies on a generations old\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePorteus mill for its malt millings. As the story goes, the distinctly red Porteus mills are so reliable, never breaking down or requiring replacement that the company went out of business.

Therefore, casks are stacked just three high and the angel’s share is relatively low, as compared to palletized warehouses which can reach up to 12 stories. Another interesting fact about Balblair is the barrel entry proof of 68.5%, as compared to 63.5% for most scotch whiskies.

In 1869, Sir George Macpherson-Grant leased land from the Ballindalloch estate to distiller John Smith to establish Cragganmore. The family remained landlords until 1923, eventually becoming co-owners with White Horse Distillers. Their stake was held until 1965, when it was sold to DCL, marking a pause in their whisky endeavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThat pause ended in 2011, when Guy Macpherson-Grant reignited the family’s distilling heritage by building a new distillery on the Ballindalloch estate. Production began in 2014, and in 2015 the distillery was officially opened by Prince Charles and Camilla.

It passed through several hands over the years, but in 1933, it was sold to Arthur Bell \u0026amp; Sons the famous Perth blender, who utilized the Blair Athol spirits for its blended whiskies of the same name. During this era, the production at Blair Athol was doubled, driven by the popularity of Bell’s blended whiskies. In the mid 1980’s, Guinness purchased Bell’s and in 1997, the distillery became part of Diageo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe cloudy wort and shorter fermentations at Blair Athol give the malt its signature nutty and spicy style. Even today, most the distillate produced at Blair Athol ends up in Bell’s. Diageo does release a single malt under its Flora and Fauna series and can you guess which creature graces these bottles? The otter, of course, which frolics in the waters of the Allt Dour. Most single malt releases of Blair Athol come from independent bottlers including this Australian wine barrique finished cask from Creetown Distillers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"CREETOWN DISTILLERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43745855471686,"sku":"8559","price":117.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/1920\/2630\/files\/Creetown-BlairAthol-13-Red-302069.png?v=1760494538"},{"product_id":"creetown-10-yo-arran-peated-first-fill-bourbon-barrel-700-ml","title":"Creetown - 10 yo Arran (peated), First Fill Bourbon Barrel Cask No. #3369, 58.1% Alc\/Vol, 700 ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCask Number: \u003c\/b\u003e3369\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge: \u003c\/strong\u003e10 years\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eABV: \u003c\/b\u003e58.1%, bottled at cask strength\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCask Type:\u003c\/b\u003e First Fill Bourbon Barrel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBottles: \u003c\/b\u003e234\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural color, non-chill filtered.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Lochranza Distillery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEstablished in 1995, the Lochranza Distillery on the Isle of Arran is one of Scotland’s youngest distilleries but not so young that its name and whisky are not recognized and appreciated in the whisky world. A short ferry ride from the Kintyre peninsula, the Lochranza Distillery is located in the town of the same name on the most northern tip of the island. There is much confusion in the distillery’s region – it’s a short jump from Campbeltown but also not far from the Lowlands region. Or is it an island whisky?

Prior to a modernization project in 2007, the distillation at Benrinnes was quite complex and involved a partial triple distillation. This process was simplified by moving to a more traditional double process. Yet, Benrinnes still retains its meaty composition and light and floral notes, favored in many Speyside single malts. Benrinnes is typically only released as a single malt in Diageo’s Flora and Fauna series but unfortunately for the U.S. this release is not available in the American market. Fortunately, however, many independent bottlers have embraced the Benrinnes single malt, releasing it in various age statements and cask finishes.\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"CREETOWN DISTILLERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43746056601670,"sku":"8199","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/1920\/2630\/files\/CREE-Benrinnes-8-Red-316194.png?v=1760494727"},{"product_id":"annandale-distillery-man-osword-fresh-ex-bourbon-peated-cask-483-57-8-alc-vol-700-ml","title":"Annandale Distillery - Man O'Sword (peated), Fresh Ex-Bourbon Cask #483, 57.8% Alc\/Vol, 700 ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCask Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 483\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eABV: \u003c\/b\u003e57.8%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCask Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Fresh Ex-Bourbon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBottles: \u003c\/b\u003e247\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green Apple, Tropical Fruit, Vanilla, Peat Smoke\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smoky Caramel, Tropical Fruits, Apple, Oak Shavings, Oily Texture\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, Oily, Sweet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural color, non-chill filtered.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Annandale Distillery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNestled within the Dumfries and Galloway region of the Scottish Lowlands, Annandale Distillery is renowned for its craftsmanship and commitment to quality.

Although the project was initially greenlit back in 2002 by visionary Sir Iain Noble, it was Mossburn Distillers who ultimately brought it to life following Noble’s passing.

Established in 1798, it stands as one of Scotland's oldest distilleries.
