‘25 Words’ is a first release, cask-strength single malt whisky from Chief’s Son that has already sold out at the distillery. It’s a smooth, full bodied, warm rich red whisky that bears their ‘Standard’ whisky insignia. It’s crafted from a base and a specialty malt, including a small percentage of peated malt to impart a deep caramel flavour. All matured in ex fortified French Oak barrels.
The ‘900’ on the front label pays tribute to the ‘McIntosh’ family name that dates back 900 years in Scotland and the release name ’25 Words’ (on the back label) refers to a ‘25 Words or less’ competition that distillery owner Alasdair McIntosh won by scribing the following words……
“My Grandparents passed the love of Whisky through my Parents to Me and I want to make sure my Children pass it onto their Children”.
