French Connection
Single Cask Guyanese Rum
It’s not often we get the chance to bottle history. Especially one that will not be repeated. In the 90s, there was an exchange of new-make spirits (tanker for tanker - whisky for cognac) between Scotland and France, which resulted in a limited number of French Cognac casks being filled, stored, and fully matured in Scotland. Whether it was good luck or perseverance, I am beyond happy to introduce this unique opportunity.

Story of release
This time I was truly lucky. I contacted a broker I knew to find out what was new on the list and he told me about this cask and its history. I can resist everything but temptation.
