Glendullan typically exhibits a pronounced perfumed (floral and honey) character, supplemented by great smoothness and elegance on the palate. The Glendullan Distillery was founded in 1897 in the outskirts of Dufftown by the blender William Williams. It was purposely located near the Glenfiddich and Balvenie Distilleries, in order to draw on the same high quality of water and barley.
Glendullan, like many other distilleries, remained inactive from 1940 up to 1947 during World War II due to shortages of Barley. The distillery underwent a major refurbishment in the early 1960’s, followed by the construction of a second distillery in 1970-1971. The old distillery was eventually mothballed in 1985, leaving the new one to continue with the production and the traditions of the Glendullan whisky. It is now part of the Diageo drinks giant.
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.
