Accomplished Scotch Malt Whiskies

14/12/2025

In the 13th to 17th centuries, lawless gangs of racketeers roamed the Scottish Borderlands, plundering, raiding, and defying authority. They were known as the Border Reivers.

In October 1525, Archbishop Gavin Dunbar of Glasgow unleashed a torrent of fury upon them - a 1,069-word curse condemning entire towns and families for their crimes. The curse was so fierce that priests were ordered to read it aloud in every parish across the Borders the following Sunday. It became one of the most famous - and fearsome - ecclesiastical tirades in Scottish history.

Centuries later, our whiskymakers took inspiration from that very curse. From our Borders warehouse, they selected casks of 2008 single grain whisky that had been re-aged in French red wine, Cognac, and Jamaican rum barrels - spirits that had “stolen” character from every vessel they touched.

This is the story of The Bishop’s Curse - a single grain Scotch whisky aged 15 years, blended from refill grain and casks once filled with French red wine, French Cognac, and Jamaican rum. A whisky praised for its stolen flavours, not condemned for them.

From the dream of empire to the depth of the glass - The Darien Misadventure reveals a rum of layered richness and effortless charm.

On the nose, complex dried fruit and brown sugar rise first, laced with rich raisin overtones and subtle hints of nutmeg and spice. There’s warmth here - confident and composed - the scent of something once bold, now beautifully matured.

The palate opens with vanilla fudge and more dried fruit, developing into a luxurious, oily unctuousness. Complex enough to savour neat, yet light enough to lend distinction to an Old Fashioned.

A blend of 12-year-old Panamanian and 20-year-old Trinidadian rums, re-aged in Spanish Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez casks.

Imagine the grandly named New Caledonia - a bold Scottish colony founded in 1698 on the shores of present-day Panama, intended to command the land route between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. A vision centuries ahead of its time – the Panama Canal before the Panama Canal.

The Darien Scheme was a 14-month flight of national imagination, backed by nearly twenty percent of Scotland’s total wealth. Five ships and 1,200 settlers sailed to the Gulf of Darien, determined to found a Scottish Crown Colony and secure independence from England. For a time, optimism reigned - Fort St. Andrews and New Edinburgh were proclaimed, and glowing reports were sent home.

But the tropics proved unforgiving. Disease, misfortune, and political resistance brought the venture to ruin, and by early 1700 the colony was abandoned. The failure bankrupted many of Scotland’s merchants and nobles, hastening the 1707 Acts of Union - and leaving behind one of the nation’s most audacious, ill-fated dreams.

This is the story of The Darien Misadventure - a blend of 12-year-old Panamanian and 20-year-old Trinidadian rums, re-aged in Spanish Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez casks. A spirit born of ambition, tempered by loss, and finished with a flourish of redemption.

From the celestial to the cask - Aether reveals itself as a whisky of remarkable poise and quiet depth.

On the nose, it is rich with dried figs and sultanas, while more subtle notes of mallow, lavender and vanilla emerge softly behind - a layered bouquet of warmth and calm.

The palate follows in perfect harmony: matching the nose with upfront figs and raisins, unfolding into oranges, honeyed peel and sweet spice. Each note moves with measured grace, creating a whisky both generous and beautifully balanced.

A blend of grain Scotch whiskies matured in Oloroso sherry hogsheads, distilled over a 21-year period beginning in the early 1990s.

Believed in days long gone, to be the pure essence that the gods breathed, we consider our aether to be the celestial envelope above where our barrels live their lives slumbering gently in our maturation warehouses.

Our whisky makers live and breathe this powerful celestial envelope and the living weight and depth of aroma that signifies the wonderous alchemical cycle that is the development of liquid gold, as they study the whiskies maturing in our warehouses.

This is the story of Aether - an expert blend of grain Scotch whiskies aged in Oloroso sherry hogsheads, distilled over a 21-year period beginning in the early 1990s.

Mossburn - The Cask Collaboration Series.

This small batch malt whisky has been made in conjunction with Domaine Dupont.

Aged for 12 years in ex bourbon casks, it’s then re aged in 18 French oak barrels that previously held Calvados and Pommeau from the Normandy family distillery.

Batch strength, non chill filtered and natural colour it’s bottled at 57.2%.

On the nose it’s cooked apple, orange blossom and nutmeg. Its palate is a combination of malt and calvados with roasted apple, floral sweet notes and a slight marine finish.

What a dram to start 2025 with.
