R&B Distillers, Borders Oloroso, Cask Strength, Single Grain Scotch Whisky

700 ml, 51.7% abv, Scotland

‘Borders’, a highland single grain Scotch whisky, 51.7% abv, natural colour, non-chill filtered.

An uncommon composition, the only single grain Scotch Whisky to contain 50% wheat & 50% malted barley from one highland distillery, finished in Oloroso Sherry casks to represent the style of their future Borders distilling.

Now, over 150 years since the last distillery in the Scottish Borders, they are returning to their roots and planning to reinstate whisky to the region.

The River Tweed is iconic to this uncommon provenance. It is integral in the R & B story and in forming part of the border between Scotland and England.

The soft rolling landscape that surrounds it is reflected in character through the light, sweet notes of this whisky.
