A.D. Rattray Stronachie Small Batch 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Product Description

Lost in time, not in spirit. 'The obliteration is total. Only the name remains.' So ends the story of Stronachie, A Distillery which rose out of the wilderness in the 1890s. Set in a desolate Glen on the Perth-Kinross border it stood between bleak hills on an isolated road that toiled its way through the Ochill mountains. Stronachie Distillery produced a traditional Highland-Style Whiskey until 1928 and during it's four decades of production A.D. Rattray LDT repressented the brand in Scotland . A.D.Rattray is proud to revive the Stronachie name and reproduced this spirit of another time. To replicate the whiskey, a bottle of an original Strong of an original Strongachie. 1904, was purchased at auction - One of the only four bottles left in existence. A small sample of the original was drawn from this bottle and tasted. Then samples of many Highland malt whiskeys were compared to the original Stronachie. Finally, the remote and high altitude distillery Benrinnes was chosen. This first class malt emulates the flavours and profile of the original Stronachie Whiskey. Matured for a minimum of ten years in specially selected oak casks. Tasting Notes: Nose: Soft honey, earthy heather and malty sweetness. Palate: Smooth with luscious honey and biscuits, then lingering pepper and cereal notes. Finish:A perfectly balanced and seductive Dram.
