Bottling Notes

Now here’s a new entry-level single malt from the Chief’s Son distillery that ticks all the boxes in regards to affordability and flavour.

This extraordinarily smooth, sweet, yet rich whisky is forged by a long marriage of spirit in ‘double wood’, essentially using two types of oak barrels to mature the spirit. The early smooth honey and vanilla is derived from the harder American oak, whilst the bold rich flavours of stone fruits come from the lush French oak casks. The rich, oily malts create a honey-like mouthfeel and a beautifully long finish.

So, what does ‘The Tanist’ mean – We’ll leave it to the Distillery to explain……
“….. under the ancient system of tanistry, the tanist was the heir apparent to the chief and second in command of the family. Elected by common vote during the chief’s lifetime, the tanist represents the most worthy, capable and ambitious of all, qualified to take on chieftainship at any time. Selected from amongst all worthy kin, the tanist ensures balance, strength and succession of the family. Therefore, ‘The Tanist’ single malt whisky is forged”.
