Bottling Notes

This award-winning whisky’s name has a quirky back story involving two peated barrels and our old favourite cartoon ‘Popeye’. Best left for Angela and Gareth to explain.

“Sometimes love is found in the strangest of places. The chance meeting of a one-eyed muscle-bound sailor with waif of a girl the shape of a toothpick sparked a truly unique relationship. Popeye and Olive were two peated whisky barrels filled on the same day – and named after these two cartoon characters. There is never any guarantee the whisky from barrels named after couples will end up in the same bottle. Sometimes though, there is that certain magic and the whisky from Popeye and Olive certainly had this for us. And as Celine Dion so aptly puts it, if you are truly in love you’re not in love, you’re in “lurve”.
