Durie Whisky - Single Malt and Premium Blend
The Durie Family Association launched two Scotch whiskies in 2012, especially selected and bottled for the Durie Family.
The Chief worked for some years with Alex Bruce, the Sales & Marketing Director of Adelphi Distillery Ltd., including in the creation of Rossend Castle Single Malt, a label also with Durie connections; alas, of which there is no more. Adelphi is a small specialist whisky company based on the Ardnamurchan peninsula in Argyll, where they have built a brand new malt distillery. Their blending and bottling operations are in Fife, only five miles from Dunfermline. They are known for dedication to quality, and every whisky which bears their name must match their strict criteria.
The two whiskies were Abbot Durie's Seal, an exceptional 15 year old Ardmore Single Highland Malt from one cask, and The Durie Dram, a superb de luxe blend of malt and grain whiskies. The whisky bottles had distinctive parchment-coloured labels featuring the 1539 seal of George Durie, Commendator and last Abbot of Dunfermline.
The casks that provided our first Abbot Durie's Seal Highland Malt and the second 15 year old Ardmore Single Highland Malt are both now exhausted. But The Durie Dram continues to be available.
The Durie Dram contains 70cl. at strength 40%.
TASTING NOTES 'THE DURIE DRAM'
The Durie Dram. A de luxe Blend 40% vol. The aroma presents an interesting meeting of north-east and south-west characteristics; Speyside pear drops and Islay smoke. The mouth-feel is quite remarkably smooth, gentle and well balanced.
