Scott's Selection

Independent bottlers

 Robert Scott has been immersed in the Scotch Whisky trade since he left school at the age of 16. Starting first as a lowly distillery worker responsible for cleaning the stills, he rose steadily through the ranks, gaining extensive knowledge of the distilling trade. By the time he had reached his 32nd birthday not only had he gained an enviable reputation as an accomplished all-rounder in whisky production but, most importantly, he had become one of the most respected "nosers" of Scotch Whiskies.
As time passed, he became increasingly expert at selecting different malts to meet the demands of his exacting employer Mr George Christie, founder of the Speyside Distillery.In the 1970s Robert Scott was appointed Master Distiller, 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, to be given one final assignment, namely to create a personal selection of his favourite 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. Whiskies are filtered (but not chill filtered) before bottling, which removes the impurities without changing the taste. The malts are not diluted. All the whiskies from this selection are bottled at cask strength.
The son of the founcer of Speyside Distillers owners of Speyside, Rickie Christie was responsible for the production untill he left the company.
