]]> Francis Darroze and his son Marc roam the Gascony countryside as treasure hunters. The search objects? Special Armagnacs. About forty wineries from the heart of Bas-Armagnac contribute to the exceptional collection of the Darroze house. The independent bottlers buy their distillates either using a mobile distiller, which traditionally makes its rounds after the harvest, or already in barrel storage. In the in-house cellars, these often rare, several generations old casks or brandies are perfected by small producers.

]]> The distillery Cragganmore, which means as much as ‘big rock’, is located between Grantown- on-Spey and Aberlour near Ballingdalloch. John Smith built this distillery in 1870 after he had made experiences at Glenfarclas and Macallan. Since this whisky was popular since the beginning it mainly is used for making blends. Nowadays the Cragganmore distillery belongs to the Diageo imperium.

]]> We have a pretty amicable friendship with the distillery Glenfarclas and especially with George Grant.
Glenfarclas means as much ‘valley of the green grassland’. It was built in 1836 by Robert Hay and bought by John Grant in 1865. Until today it still is owned by the family Grant. The family brings out standard bottlings as well as outstanding special bottlings with foresight and continuity. We had the great chance to choose several casks personally and do our own bottlings. Since 2006 George Grants visits in Itzehoe are one of our highlights we experienced. The mainly used Oloroso Sherry Casks give the whisky its character, that is pretty special and appreciated by whisky experts in the whole world.

]]> The distillery was founded in 1789 and with its location in Krikwall on the Orkney Islands it is the distillery that is the northernmost in Scotland. Because of this special location and the special peat on Orkney the whisky has a peculiar taste. One aroma that is described very often to be found is the ‘sweetness of heather’.
