Mackillop's Choice comes to Gauntleys.Gauntleys are proud to announce that the Mackillop's Choice range has been added to their whisky portfolio. This Independent bottling company was founded by Angus Dundee Distillers in 1996 and as they now buy Glencadam and Tomintoul directly from them, this has allowed them to also purchase a selection of the single cask bottlings that they release.
Each cask is selected by Lorne Mackillop, who incidentally is heir to the Mackillop Clan, which was all but wiped out by the English in the aftermath of the battle of Culloden in 1745 during the Jacobite Rebellion.
Lorne himself became a member of the Institute of Masters of Wine in 1984 and at the time he was the youngest person to be accepted as a Master of Wine. With his extensive knowledge of the whisky industry he selects casks, which are then bottled at either 43 or 46% without chill-filtering or the addition of caramel.
