Description

For generations, iconic Orcadian wine and spirit merchant, John Scott & Millers, offered its own remarkable range of fine wines, spirits and whisky blends. The business continues to thrive today under the name of Scott & Millers, and as part of The Bros. Ladder in Kirkwall, with this special 12-year-old Orkney single malt rekindling the shop bottling traditions of old. Selecting a whisky bottling of such a milestone has been a long and thoughtful process. Our chosen single malt was distilled in March of 2007 before being aged in a premium quality oak hogshead. Limited to just 343 bottles, it is a tribute to 19th-century company founder, John Scott, and the spirit of Orcadian entrepreneurship.
