Story
Behind every great brand is a great story. Perhaps that’s the most important lesson we have learned from my many years creating new drinks. We can certainly think of no better story or figurehead for a Scotch Whisky than my ancestor, Mr Gladstone, and his Axes.
Mr Gladstone signed the spirits act of 1860 allowing the blending of scotch for the first time – essentially creating the scotch whisky industry that we know today. Known as “THE GRAND OLD MAN” his passion and pastime was felling trees with his trusty collection of axes – people from around the country would come to watch him chopping trees.
Through his progressive ideology, he was instrumental in driving out corruption and passing new laws for the people.
