The distillery which was founded in 1974 is located in Mulben Banffshire between Rothes and Dufftown . Auchroisk which is Gaelic for “ford across the red stream “ draws its water from Dories Well which is very soft and of exceptional quality and is the reason for the distillery’s location.
The stills are designed to produce a light, elegant spirit for use in the J & B blend. Some early bottling’s were released under the name “Singleton”. So an excellent pedigree.
The nose is of fresh cut grass with hints of heather and sherry. Speyside malts tend to be reminiscent of summer fruits and rose bushes. Not here though. More like licorice and aniseed. Looking for a malt with attitude. This is the one.
The unique and alluring nature of Single Cask releases means we cannot bring you the same delightful elixirs again and again – once the whisky is gone, it’s gone for good. The expressions live as a fragment of the past, never to be repeated.
We invite you to delve into our whisky archives. Explore past releases and bask in amber nostalgia, accompanied with distillery history and tasting notes from Mr. Hart himself.
Hart Brothers can trace their origins in the licensed trade back to the late 19th century when the family were licensed victuallers and publicans in Paisley, the mill town on the outskirts of Glasgow. It was not until 1964 that brothers Iain & Donald Hart incorporated the company as Wine & Spirit Wholesalers and Scotch Whisky Blenders.
Alistair Hart joined the company in 1975 and it was his responsibility as chief blender to source vintage casks of single malt whisky that were not readily available through any specialist whisky shop or online whisky site. Today, we continue to secure special and rare malt and grain whiskies that are further matured and only selected for single cask bottling after careful tasting and consideration.
We always pride ourselves on continuing the spirit of excellence by offering some of the finest single malt scotch whisky available through our selected distributors overseas.
We make sure our customers can best share with us the single malt scotch whisky experience which is why we add nothing to the malt whisky other than the purest water. Today, we pride ourselves on continuing the spirit of excellence by offering some of the finest single malt scotch whisky available through our selected distributors overseas.
