Pat's Whisk(e)y: The Grand Finale

J&B 12 Year Old Exceptional 

A longstanding name in the world of blended whisky, J&B began as a Wine & Spirits merchants in London's Pall Mall in 1749. The operation was originally set up by Italian immigrant Giacomo Justerini and business partner George Johnson.  Ever since 1761 they have been a supplier to each British monarch since the coronation of King George III in 1761. The company was bought and renamed as Justerini & Brooks by Alfred Brooks in 1831. Brooks began investing heavily in creating a signature blend which would become known as J&B Rare. The blend battled heavily with rival Cutty Sark for dominance in the United States and after the brief pause due to prohibition, J&B became a massive hit with the Americans whilst enjoying sales of one million cases per year. The brand was purchased by International Distillers & Vintners (eventually Diageo) in 1962 and is still included in the company’s portfolio today.

J&B Royal Ages 15 Year Old De Luxe 1970s / Dateo Import

A very rare and unusual blend produced by Justerini and Brooks during the late 1970s.

Justerini & Brooks was established in 1831 when Alfred Brooks acquired the business founded by wine merchant, Giaccomo Justerini, which had been located in Pall Mall since the mid-18th century. The company was quick to catch on to the emerging popularity of whisky after blended Scotch was introduced by Andrew Usher in the 1880s. They acquired great stocks of whisky from Scotland and introduced their own blend for their clientele in London. This blend evolved into the now classic J&B Rare expression, introduced in the 1930s and specifically designed to capture the newly re-opened American market following the repeal of Prohibition. By the 1960s the brand had become a huge success, aided by associations to cultural icons like the Rat Pack who were seen drinking it on stage. The company amalgamated with W&A Gilbey to become International Distillers & Vintners (IDV) in 1962, giving it a portfolio of four distilleries in Scotland; Auchroisk, Knockando, Strathmill and Glen Spey, all of which still provision the J&B blend to this day. In 1972, IDV was acquired by Watney Mann, and six months later, by Grand Metropolitan, the high-profile merger of which with United Distillers in 1997 made Justerini & Brooks a subsidiary of Diageo, who continue to operate it as the fifth best-selling blended Scotch brand in the world.

Royal Lochnagar 12 Year Old

Royal Lochnagar is so-called after it was bestowed with a Royal Warrant by Prince Albert and Queen Victoria following a visit in 1848. The popularity of the distillery’s Begg’s blend saw it acquired by John Dewar & Sons in 1916, who later became part of DCL, upping the demand for its whisky from other brands in their portfolio, including Johnnie Walker. Today it is part of Diageo, their smallest distillery by some margin, making the modest amount of its single malt spared for bottling increasingly sought after. 

Prior to the formation of United Distillers in 1988, the distilleries within the DCL portfolio were often licensed out to its blending companies, and in the case of Royal Lochnagar it was former owners, John Begg Ltd. Their 12 year old bottling replaced the Haig's Glenleven blended malt within the Ascot Malt Cellar range, an early DCL precursor to the Classic Malts range launched later that decade.

When the classic malts was launched, Royal Lochnagar was not included, but United Distillers continued to market the distillery's brand, re-launching this 12 year old alongside the Selected Reserve. For many years they were the most expensive permanent product in the Diageo portfolio.

Glenallachie 10 Year Old That Boutique-y Whisky Company Batch #3

Glenallachie distillery was built by Mackinlays in 1967 to meet the demands of its blends following an upturn in sales in the US. In its short history it has passed through the hands of Invergordon Distillers and Pernod-Ricard. During this period the focus was always on the provision of blends, with over 20 years between the first Mackinlay’s distillery bottlings of its single malt and the next official release from Chivas Brothers in 2005. Now in the hands of Billy Walker and being pushed as a single malt brand since 2017, prior to this, the only real opportunity to try Glenallachie was through sought after independent bottlings like this.

Tullibardine That Boutique-y Whisky Company Batch #1

Tullibardine distillery in Perthshire was built in 1949 and was quickly acquired by blending firm, Brodie Hepburn. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, the distillery came under ownership of Whyte & Mackay in 1993, who shut it down following year. In the preceding decades, its large production capacity had filled its even larger warehouses. Whyte & Mackay bottled some Tullibardine as a single malt, but also sold a lot of the stock to third party blenders and bottlers, resulting in some excellent independent releases.

Blair Athol 17 Year Old That Boutique-y Whisky Company Batch #2

Blair Athol distillery is one of Scotland's oldest, dating back into the late 18th century. Its modern story begins when it was closed down by Peter Mackenzie in 1932, and was purchased by Arthur Bell & Sons the following year. Distilling recommenced in 1949, and with Blair Athol malt at its heart, Bell's became one of the world's best-selling whiskies. Despite its importance to the blend, Blair Athol was also bottled as a single malt under the Bell's banner in the 1970s and 1980s. New owners, Guinness, were less interested in this when they took over in 1985, but their subsequent iteration, United Distillers, brought a back distillery bottling with the Flora & Fauna release. Despite its popularity, Blair Athol has yet to be bottled under its own single malt brand. Other official bottlings from the Diageo era are very rare too, however the distillery has regularly provided casks to independent companies, many of whom have bottled some exceptional releases.

Big Peat The Whisky.fr Edition

Douglas Laing & Co was established in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing, affectionately known as “FDL.” The company started out as a blending business, but over time their focus shifted towards independently bottlings single malts. Fred died in 1982, leaving the business to his two sons, Stewart and Fred Jr, who eventually carved it up in 2013, with Stewart leaving to establish Hunter Laing. Fred Jr and his daughter Cara now run Douglas Laing, which continues to bottle single malt and has also revived its blending business. Additionally, the company has recently moved into distilling as well, announcing plans to construct the new Clutha distillery in Glasgow, and taking over Strathearn in Perthshire in 2019.

Big Peat was the earliest addition to what became the Douglas Laing family of Remarkable Regional Malts, introduced in 2009 and produced using only Islay malt whiskies, including some Port Ellen!

Macduff That Boutique-y Whisky Company Batch #2

Production began at Macduff distillery in 1963, and it was eventually purchased by William Lawson, the Scotch whisky arm of Italian giants, Martini & Rossi.

Glen Deveron disappeared after Bacardi took over the distillery ownership in 1993, but eventually returned as simply The Deveron. Macduff-labelled single malts were widely bottled by independent companies in the meantime, and continue to be today.

Glengoyne 10 Year Old Douglas Laing Premier Barrel

Built in 1833, what is now known as Glengoyne is a Highland distillery so close to the Lowland region border that its warehouses across the road actually fall into the latter geographical category. The distillery was owned by the Lang Brothers for 89 years, who used it as provision for their blends. In that time it was also important to those of Robertson & Baxter, who would eventually acquire the site in 1966, and bottled it as a single malt for the first time in the 1970s. It was not until the 1990s that the single malt brand became the distillery’s main focus however. An eventual restructuring by Robertson & Baxter’s parent company, Edrington, saw its operations quieted, and Glengoyne was sold to Ian Macleod Distillers in 2003.

This whisky has been aged for 10 years.

James E Pepper 3 Year Old That Boutique-y Whisky Company Rye Batch #2

Launched in 2012, That Boutique-y Whisky Company is an independent bottler and subsidiary of the Atom Group in Kent, England. Their releases are notable for their use of comic book style graphic labels, often with irreverent industry jokes concealed within them. Their catalogue is hugely expansive, covering whiskies from all over the world, and they are now joined by sister companies who bottle Gin and Rum

This is a three year old rye whiskey that has been finished in PX casks.

James E. Pepper is an important figure in the history of US distilling, campaigning in 1890 to get the state of Kentucky to allow him to bottle his own whiskey at the distillery rather than to sell it by the barrel to distributors. He was also chief proponent of the Bottled in Bond Act in 1897, along with Colonel E.H Taylor Jr, and was the first to introduce the strip stamp that became a legal requirement on such products.

The original distillery was purchased by the Schenley company shortly before the repeal of Prohibition, who demolished it and built a new distillery under the James E. Pepper name. It operated until 1958 when it again fell silent before being rebuilt in 2017, filling its first barrel just before Christmas that year.

Batch #2 resulted in 1,077 bottles.
