A bit of history
Alexander Cowie was a brave outsider. A doctor in a distiller’s world. A man bolder than most. We continue to do things our way, crafting our own traditions, just like Alexander did to forge a unique way to a bigger Scotch. "Big flavour without big smoke
"Its character harks back to a time when whiskies were bigger, bolder, darker.
It is the earthy, meaty roots of Speyside. Its flavour is not what people expect from Speyside but it is a flavour which is gaining in popularity – and is rarely found.
At the foundation of many famous blends is this throwback to the old days, to days before Dufftown even existed.
It is the dark reduction of whisky to some primal essence.” Dave Broom, Whisky Writer"
