Day 11 as I write this article I have come to the conclusion that independent bottlers are definitely part of the theme of this years calendar and why not with some of the most unique and delicious bottles out there its hard to argue with their work. Todays offering from Vintage Malt Whisky Co under the Coopers Choice label is no exception so tuck in and enjoy.
PROFILE
The Vintage Malt Whisky Co offers bottlings from a wide range of distilleries in its Cooper’s Choice portfolio of single cask bottlings, along with aged single grains under the parallel Cooper’s Choice Golden Grains label.
The company also markets an unspecified Islay single malt under the Finlaggan banner, with several expressions now available, along with Tantallan, an unspecified Highland single malt, and the Glenalmond blended Highland malt.
Its sister company, the Highlands and Islands Scotch Whisky Co., produces single Islay malts The Ileach and Pibroch, as well as Island single malt Black Cuillin.
