Robert Scott has been immersed in the Scotch Whisky trade since he left school at the age of 16. Starting first as a distillery worker responsible for cleaning the stills, he rose steadily through the ranks. By the time he had reached his 32nd birthday, he had become one of the most respected "nosers" of Scotch Whiskies.
In the 1970s he was appointed Master Distiller of The Speyside Distillery, a position he held in the finest traditions of this ancient craft until retirement beckoned. Prior to caring full time for his garden in Glasgow, Robert was, however, given one final assignment: to create a personal selection of his favorite single malt whiskies. Thus Scott's Selection was born.
The selection criteria are drastic, from the choice of the malt to the optimal maturation time for each cask. The aim of this collection is to bottle whiskies as close as possible from their original taste in the cask. The whiskies are not chill-filtered. The malts are not diluted. All the whiskies from this selection are bottled at cask strength.
