The result of years of meticulous planning by distillery founder Ian Palmer is set to delight discerning drinkers the world over as they savour this new, luxury whisky. A single-minded approach to using innovative materials, methods and maturation practices has resulted in a spicy rye flavour that is unlike any other Scotch whisky.
These include: • 53% malted rye and 47% malted barley - ground extra finely for maximum flavour extraction • Cereals mashed using a Meura mash filter - one of only two used in Scotland • Fermented using a rye-specific yeast - results in lower yields but higher flavour • Double distilled in pot stills, not continuous distillation – the first has rare double condensers and the second is a bespoke Lomond Hill still, designed by Ian Palmer alongside stillmaker, Frilli (it is the only precision distilled rye Scotch whisky made in this way) • Matured in charred new oak casks - created from trees traced back to Ozark Mountains forests, USA
