Inspired by Sir Arthur John Tedder â The Exciseman stationed at Glengoyne defining the rules of Scotch whisky, inspired by our distillery.

March 2nd 1908 â He was first witness at the Royal Commission on Whiskey* and other potable spirits. A royal commission to determine the very concept of what whisky was.

On one side was the purists who only thought Pot Still whisky was whisky and on the other side Blenders who thought grain and malt whisky combined was whisky.

The Scots and the blenders won the day after 37 sittings; This was seen as the sensible outcome. Blends could still be called Whisky and called Scotch if distilled in Scotland.*

We will use this exceptional whisky to celebrate Tedder’s influence in defining what should make a great Scotch during his time stationed at Glengoyne â defining the rules to which we still distil to this day.

Tedder would be proud of this exceptional whisky â bottled using some of the very finest American oak sherry casks in our Glengoyne warehouses â and we thank him as the attention to detail and his exacting standards not only creates rules the whole industry follows today, but it inspired the people of Glengoyne to constantly pursue perfection, and helping to create the Unhurried Glengoyne Way.
