Single Cask French Cognac
It’s not often we get the chance to bottle history. Especially one that will not be repeated. In the 90s, there was an exchange of new-make spirits (tanker for tanker - whisky for cognac) between Scotland and France, which resulted in a limited number of French Cognac casks being filled, stored, and fully matured in Scotland. Whether it was good luck or perseverance, I am beyond happy to introduce this unique opportunity.

Story of release
This time I was truly lucky. I contacted a broker I knew to find out what was new on the list and he told me about this cask and its history. I can resist everything but temptation.
