Fresh cereal on the nose dominates the whisky’s aromatic profile, though it’s undercut by a significant nuttiness that is driven by the sherry finishing.

Consumers and bartenders are looking for something more unique, which is why we wanted to move the brand on and change it.The only issues are it does kind of vary from year to year (at least in my opinion, and I tiddle it only every so often), and sometimes it can have that yucky Red Label smell.

As if to emphasise the family connection, it was Matthew III’s daughter, Phillippa, who drew the very first, and now famous, red grouse that we see on the bottle.
