anCnoc is a rather curious whisky. You see, this fine single malt is created using traditional production methods. It’s just that we use them to make a refreshingly modern whisky. (Something that’s reflected in our contemporary bottle design and packaging today.)

The end result is a lighter-tasting single malt that doesn’t compromise on quality.

From our history to the way we make the whisky, this is the place where you can get the lowdown on everything anCnoc.

The making of Single Malt Scotch Whisky is governed as much by the law as it is by tradition. So why does Auchentoshan’s flavour stand so far apart? There are two main answers – the skill of our mash men and still men, and our insistence on time-old methods, such as wooden washbacks and triple distillation for every single drop.

A Fine single Highland malt Tullibardine Distillery nestles at the foot of the Ochil Hills in Perthshire, where the Highlands of Scotland begin. These hills are renowned for the crystal purity of their spring water.

The Distillery draws its water from the same source which fed the first public brewery in Scotland and from where King James IV purchased beer to celebrate his coronation in 1488. Today Tullibardine (built on the site of the brewery) reigns supreme as a fine malt whisky of majestic qualities. It is considered “Eminently quaffable”.

Our distillery – Speyside’s smallest - is located on the outskirts of the ancient market town of Forres, in north-east Scotland. Just two experienced distillers passionately hand-craft Benromach using the finest Scottish barley and the purest spring water from the nearby Romach Hills. They personally ensure that only the highest quality spirit is filled into sturdy oak casks before being left to mature at Benromach for many years.

Only when it has matured to our highest quality standards do we bottle it and proudly label it – Benromach Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

Two Scotsmen were in a bar...

This bar was in Manhattan, and the two men were reminiscing about their homeland. The conversation turned to drink, as it often does in these situations.

A vodka so refined and so pure needed an entirely new method of distillation. A quintuple micro-distillation technique was invented, just for us.

After months of hard work the idea that began in New York became a reality; VALT Vodka was first distilled on St. Andrew's Day and bottled on the anniversary of Robbie Burns' birthday.

At 5.14 metres (16ft 10 1/4 inches) our stills are the tallest in Scotland. Not to mention the same height as a fully grown adult giraffe! Which means that only the very lightest and purest vapours make it to the top of their long copper necks, giving a smoother, purer and more elegant whisky.

At Glenmorangie we select the finest oak casks in which to mature our whisky. But that's not all, because we then only use each one twice (whilst many others use their up to five or six times), ensuring that the maximum amount of flavour is always extracted during maturation, delivering a rounder, smoother taste.

Breathe it in. This is pure Islay. Where Ardbeg is, has been and always will be made by people genuinely devoted to producing The Ultimate Islay Malt. Ardbeg the whisky is Ardbeg the place, in all its raw natural beauty.

Since 1881, our gentle malt has always started out the same way, with good quality malted barley, clean pure Margadale spring water and a little yeast.

We could try and make out that our whisky is made from superior ingredients than that of other Islay malts but, if you know your malt whisky, you will know that all good whisky starts off the same. What we can tell you is that Bunnahabhain’s gentle taste is so unique because we have never heavily peated our fine malted barley, our natural spring water source has run clear for over one hundred years and our sea facing warehouses provide the perfect environment for maturing our spirit.
