Aberfeldy Distillery is nestled within a lush valley in the foothills of the Central Highlands of Scotland. Known as the ‘Golden Dram’, the distillery’s water source is the famous Pitilie Burn, renowned locally for its water quality and famed for its deposits of alluvial gold. Time honored techniques, such as longer fermentation, conjure rare honeyed notes key to the signature sweetness of Aberfeldy’s malts.

The "Aberfeldy 12 Year Old Single Malt Whiskey" is Scented with spices and honeyed plump fruits. Syrupy, with lots of vanilla and fudge, with a whisper of smoke on the finish.

FROM BURNS TO BARLEY

Lochlea was a cattle farm when we originally acquired it in 2006. Extending some 222 acres, we realised that for a farm of that size to be viable we needed to do something very different. 
Barley had historically been grown on the farm land, largely as livestock feed, so in 2015 we embarked on an experiment, growing 50 acres of malting barley. 
Working away quietly, learning from our (not too frequent) mistakes, exploring the possibilities and making contacts in the malting industry gave us the confidence to make a big decision: we’d develop and operate a single malt distillery here at Lochlea.
Construction got underway in 2017, converting the former piggery, byre and midden in the heart of the farm steading into the distillery, and repurposing the cattle sheds into bonded warehouses. We secured all our licences in 2018, and the distillery was commissioned in August 2018.
Since then, we have been growing our barley, and the distillery team have been skillfully and patiently making spirit. 
The land at Lochlea is important, and not just to the distinctive taste of our whisky. This was the land that Robert Burns tended when he lived at Lochlea Farm, inspiring his thinking and development as a poet. Burns toiled the same soil that we are privileged to grow our malting barley in today.

WHISKY IS HERE

Our single malt scotch whisky has been a labour of love for years. We’re not cutting any corners here. Everything we do, from our wooden washbacks to our on-site racked warehouse, is focused on producing the highest quality spirit possible. Forget your preconceptions about Lowland whisky, Lochlea is different. Using our own barley unique to Lochlea, nurturing a long fermentation and being meticulous with our cut points creates a new make bursting with orchard fruit and elegant beyond its years.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

As an independent family-owned distillery - now a rare thing in our industry - we can approach our small-batch whisky making in an innovative, flexible and responsive way, without the constraints of a large corporate structure. By using our own barley grown on the farm and our on-site water source, we have full traceability over the ingredients going into our process, allowing us a higher level of quality control and creating a flavour profile unique to Lochlea. Our location offers the best of both worlds. Nestled in the heart of Ayrshire, we have beautiful rolling hills all around, yet are easily accessible from many of the major towns and cities in Scotland. Head north, and you’re in Glasgow in 30 minutes, south west and several scenic seaside towns along the coast. We are also the only distillery in the world who can rightfully claim that Robert Burns himself lived and worked here. He spent his formative years from 1777-1784 at Lochlea, and we are proud to work those same fields today 240 years on.

ALL OHISHI WHISKIES ARE FIRST MATURED IN EITHER SHERRY OR EX-BRANDY CASKS BEFORE BEING BOTTLED OR GOING INTO THEIR FINISHING CASKS. BECAUSE RICE WHISKY IS SO ELEGANT AND SOFT, IT HAS THE ABILITY TO TAKE ON CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CASK TYPE VERY QUICKLY. NO WHISKY IS RELEASED BEFORE IT IS READY AS DETERMINED BY KAZUNORI OISHI.

There’s a place in these parts high up in the mountains called Cowboy Heaven, which is known for clean air, beautiful sunrises, and hot coffee shared around the fire. Our Coffee Cream Liqueur brings forth the full flavor of cowboy coffee and this time-honored tradition. With balanced sweet, savory, and bitter flavors, this cream is a must-have for the campsite, tailgate, or home bar.

CÎROC is a truly modern vodka, filled with flavour and style that brings celebration to every vodka cocktail. Lusciously smooth, playfully sophisticated and cheekily going against the grain, CÎROC vodka is a commitment to superior taste, quality and a fun-loving lifestyle.

Born from generations of wine makers and distillers dating back to the 16th century, Jean-Sébastien Robicquet, the Master Distiller of CÎROC has the art of distilling in his veins. Jean-Sébastien is based in Villevert, France in the renowned wine region of Cognac.

Jean-Sébastien earned his Oenology diploma in 1988, and a Masters in Law, Economics and Management of the Wine Industry in 1990. He combined his distilling expertise and his skill as an oenologist to create CÎROC Vodka in 2003. Jean-Sébastien has been recognized by the Great Council of Bordeaux Wines as ‘Commandeur de Bordeaux,’ in acknowledgement of his resolve for high quality, superior and honest products.

Unlike most vodkas, which are made from grain, CÎROC Vodka is distilled from fine French grapes; a process inspired by over a century of wine-making expertise and craftsmanship. It is the fine French grapes and the fifth distillation at the historic Maison Villevert Distillery in the South of France that gives CÎROC Vodka a distinctive flavour with an exceptionally fresh, citrus taste.

Fine French grapes are specially selected for harvest and made into a wine. The wine is distilled four times in column stills. In the fifth distillation, CÎROC Vodka is truly created in a traditional, tailor-made copper pot still at Maison Villevert Salles d’Angles in the south of France.

What is CÎROC vodka made from?

While some vodkas originate from wheat or other grains (there are even some potato-based vodkas), CÎROC is five-times distilled from fine French grapes giving it a distinct and fruity taste.

At Baileys, we think business can be a force for positive change which is why we’re working on our most significant recipe to date; Ingredients for Good, a Recipe in the Making. Our aim is to make a positive difference to our communities and our planet. After all, treating is an act of caring not just for ourselves, but for the world around us. Whether that’s turning up on our neighbour’s doorstep with banoffee pie post-heartbreak or buying Irish Cream Liqueur from a B Corp Certified business.

Since Baileys launched in 1974 we've paid a premium for top quality milk from our farmer-owned co-operative dairy supplier. Through them, we ensure the high standards of animal welfare and traceability in the milk that transforms into Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur. In recent years we've reduced the amount of water used in our factories and switched to 100% renewable electricity to power them. We pay our employees a living wage and ensure they have access to leading benefits, like six months paid family leave for parents.

But we know we need to go further, like reducing the greenhouse gas emissions from our suppliers that produce our delicious Baileys. Our recipe for good is still in the making. That’s why we’re working to improve our impact all the time and have set ambitious goals for 2030.

THE DEACON

In Scots, a “Deacon” is an adept and proficient master tradesman. The expert distillers behind our Scotch fit the name perfectly: The Deacon is an homage to master craftspeople, whatever their trade may be.

THE DRAM

THE DEACON blend is a masterful blend of both smoky Speyside and peaty Islay malt whiskies, making it a complex, rich, and smoky dram. In our blend, the single malts from Islay have a characteristic peaty smoke flavour, while the single malts from the mainland have a bonfire-like smoke character. A nose of charred orange, sweet malty biscuits and woodsmoke gives way to juicy orange, echoing the nose, on the palate, delicate spice, and tangy peat. The finish is both sweet and smoky, long, and smooth.

THE VESSEL

Traditional copper pot stills used in our distillation process lend their iconic shine to The Deacon’s stunning bottle, which looks like nothing else on the shelf or back bar, covered in an ornate pattern and stamped with our iconic mascot.

A SCOTCH LIKE NO OTHER

The Deacon is the most unconventional Scotch you'll ever experience. A one-of-a-kind blend that defies traditional Scotch conventions, featuring a bold and complex flavor profile and unique design sure to awaken your senses. A smooth and rich blended whisky that is perfect for those who like to push beyond the horizon.

REPOSADO

Remarkably smooth. The same body of Don Vicente Blanco rested in American White Oak Bourbon barrels for less than a year. The aging adds a complexity of aromas and flavors. The cooked Blue Weber Agave, minerality, and earthiness are all still very present; with hints of vanilla, caramel, and butter.

A rich and buttery mouthfeel.

BLANCO

Don Vicente Blanco is all-natural, exceptionally clean, and clear. A straightforward sweetness from the cooked Blue Weber Agave and delicious minerality and earthiness from the +450 ft deep well water. Oxygenated for a whole day for a softer, lighter, and buttery mouthfeel, making the flavors perfectly balanced. The more you drink it, the more flavors you will discover.

The perfect sipping tequila.

Tromba Australia where it all started...

La Tromba is Spanish slang for a sudden and intense rain storm. But it’s much more than that. It means something big is happening – change is brewing and nothing will ever be the same again. 

So when three friends, Eric Brass, Nick Reid and James Sherry, met in Guadalajara back in 2005, it was between sips of tequila that they made a pact to no longer live conventional lives or work typical jobs. For them, everything would change as they vowed to make extraordinary tequila their passion to pursue. They found partners in maverick master distiller, Marco Cedano, and his son, Rodrigo. These were men skilled in the art of turning blue agave into bottled brilliance.

Despite having little money and many naysayers, the partners traveled bar to bar to build the groundswell for their tequila – one made in the rugged Jalisco highlands where the finest tequilas in the world hail from. This is where we work to define a powerful force in new world tequila – Tequila Tromba. Every bottle contains the perfect storm of youthful boldness and weathered wisdom; embodying the adventurous spirit of those who make it for those who wish to take life by storm.

A deep gold color, Tromba Añejo is aged in white oak barrels for 20-24 months and exudes agave flavours rich in complexity. Gentle hints of oak and caramelized agave sweetness paired with rich chocolate, nuts and ripe dried fruit. Expect a sophisticated, honeyed finish.

Crafted from hand-selected bourbon barrels and made with 100% Texas grains sourced from a co-op of Texas farmers, Devils River Distiller’s Select is a “grain to glass” Texas Straight Bourbon.

THE LONE STAR STATE HEAT

Distiller’s Select is distilled and aged in the hot Texas climate for over two years in a new #3 charred American oak barrel. The Texas heat naturally accelerates the aging cycle making it the perfect location for our rickhouse. As the whiskey expands deeper into the oak staves, our bourbon developed its dark color and complex flavor.

WATER AND WHISKEY

Once our Distiller determines our whiskey is ready to bottle, Distiller’s Select is then brought to its final 120-proof by marrying the bourbon with spring water from the Devils River Region. Resulting in a well-balanced, high-proof bourbon.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE: Pepper, oak, rye and balanced with ripe apples, pears and vanilla.

TASTE: Bold, oak, rye and balanced with ripe apples, pear and vanilla.

FINISH: Smooth, warming and clean on the back palate.
