A BLEND BORN IN THE AGE OF DIVERSITY. FROM THE 5 MAJOR WHISKY REGIONS OF THE WORLD

Japan:

• Yamazaki Distillery: Japan’s first and oldest whisky distillery, featuring a delicate yet profound profile nurtured through Yamazaki’s misty climate.
• Hakushu Distillery:Japan’s unique mountain forest distillery, featuring a refreshingly herbal flavour profile from the water of its natural surroundings

Ireland: 

• Cooley Distillery: A newer distillery founded in 1989, Cooley uses similar production methods to Scotch such as double distillation.

America:

• Jim Beam Clermont Distillery: Founded in 1795 and run by the Beam family for generations, this distillery produces the World’s #1 Bourbon, using water naturally filtered through a limestone shelf and the same yeast since the Prohibition era.

Canada:

Scotland:

• Ardmore Distillery: Founded in 1898, Ardmore produces smoky Highland whisky that is crisp and different from other Islay varieties.
• Glen Garioch Distillery: Among the Highlands’ oldest distilleries, Glen Garioch features Highland malt with sharp honey and heathery spicy notes.
