AD Rattray Stronachie 10 Year Old Single Malt Whisky 43% 700ml

Stronachie, one of the legendary names in the archive of vanished distilleries, lives on with this Highland Single Malt. We created our Stronachie 10 Year Old with spirit from Benrinnes Distillery that we then matured exclusively in bourbon casks for a perfectly balanced and seductive dram.

TASTING NOTES

THE HISTORY

Stronachie distillery was built in the 1890s by Victorian entrepreneurs Alexander & MacDonald, rising out of the wilderness in the Ochil Mountains in Perthshire.

Despite its remote location and the resulting challenges, it survived for nearly 30 years before sadly closing its doors in 1928. During its heyday, A. D. Rattray proudly distributed the brand.

And so we decided to re-create this lost spirit and bring it back to the world...

THE RECREATION

Decades after the Stronachie Distillery closed, we acquired a bottle of original 1904 Stronachie at an auction… one of only four bottles left in existence. A small sample of whisky was drawn from this bottle, tasted and compared to samples from other Highland malt whiskies.

We revived the delicate style, character and flavour of Stronachie by using spirit from Benrinnes Distillery. Like the original, Benrinnes is located in a remote, high altitude wilderness.
