Grain

Greign is a Single Grain Whisky from the Macduff distillery. The original founders of the distillery buy exceptional old casks for the maturation of their whiskies. The Greign was matured in a mixture of sherry casks and freshly burnt-out casks, making the single grain a smooth, full-bodied dram.

The Observatory was produced at the Macduff distillery. The Speyside distillery lies in the shadow of the Macduff lighthouse, one of many lighthouses along the 16,500 kilometres of Scottish coastline. For 20 years, The Observatory matured there into a full-bodied Single Grain.

This Single Grain comes from the Loch Lomond distillery and was matured in American oak casks. It has been certified organic by the Soil Association. Grain whisky has a softer and lighter Taste than Single Malt.

This Loch Lomond Grain Whisky is made exclusively from smoky barley malt. However, since it is distilled by continuous column distillation and not in pot stills as prescribed for Single Malt, it bears the official designation Single Grain Whisky. Master Blender Michael Henry chose only first-fill and refill bourbon casks for the bottling.

This Port Dundas belongs to the Single Grain Collection by Signatory. The Grain distillery Port Dundas has been closed since 2010. The casks are individually selected and filled by the bottler.

Haig Club Clubman is a single Grain whisky from Scotland. The blue colour of the bottle is a tribute to the Blends who used blue glasses for their tastings so that the tasters were not distracted by the colour of the whisky and could concentrate fully on the aromas and taste. The copper-coloured stopper mimics the copper stills in which the Grain whisky is distilled. The bottling matured exclusively in bourbon casks.

This Port Dundas Single Grain was released by the independent bottler Signatory Vintage. The Port Dundas Grain distillery has been closed since 2010. The two Second Fill Oloroso Sherry Butts, already filled in 2008, were individually selected by Signatory and bottled neither coloured nor chill-filtered with slightly increased drinking strength.

This single grain from the Cooper's Collection is the second in a series of annual limited releases from Loch Lomond Master Blender Michael Henry. Distilled from 100% malted barley with subsequent maturation in American oak casks with a finish in the finest handmade Spanish oak casks, the natural flavours of the single grain whisky are enhanced. The continuous copper 'Coffey' still produces a whisky with elegant fruity and floral notes.

The 16-year-old Invergordon is part of the Select Grain series from independent bottler Murray McDavid, who is based in Speyside at the Coleburn distillery. In his various series, he bottles a wide variety of single malts, grains and blends. In this series, whiskies made from special grains are matured in selected casks. This single grain was refined in first fill Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. The bottle is designed with a thicker glass base and a high-quality wooden grip cork. The elegant packaging and label of this bottling shine in a fresh colour scheme of silver and blue tones.

This single grain whisky matured for 13 years in a first fill Spanish red wine cask comes from one of Scotland's oldest grain distilleries, Cameronbridge. It is part of the series 'The Old Friends' by Michel Reick, the whisky specialist of a German importer. Reick is well known in the whisky scene for his whisky creations Best Dram, Scotch Universe and Whisky Druid, all of which he has marketed and established as independent bottlers. The whiskies in The Old Friends range are matured in particularly high-quality, sometimes rare boutique casks carefully selected from top coopers, wineries and bodegas. The Cameronbridge Single Grain was bottled without colour, without chill-filtration and at cask strength.

The RyeLaw Fife Single Grain is made at the very modern Inchdairnie distillery in Fife from 53% malted rye and 47% malted barley. The grain is mashed using a Meura mash filter - one of only two used in Scotland. Fife is a peninsula north of Edinburgh that offers ideal conditions for growing barley and rye. The RyeLaw is the only whisky in the world made proportionately from rye and distilled in a Lomond Hill still. Inchdairnie is committed to traceable and transparent production (Grain to Bottle) and matures this creation in charred new oak casks made from trees in the Ozark Mountains.

The 15-year-old Invergordon is part of the Selected Grain Series of the independent bottler Murray McDavid, who is based in Speyside at the Coleburn distillery. In his various series, he bottles a wide variety of Single Malts, Grains and Blends. In this series, whiskies from special grains are post-matured in selected casks. This Single Grain, for example, was refined in Murça Tawny Port barriques. The design of the bottle features a thicker glass base and a high-quality wooden handle cork. The noble packaging and label of this bottling shines in a fresh colour scheme of silver and blue tones.
