To celebrate and contribute to Glenalmond College’s 175th anniversary, Kilchoman and Ardnamurchan distilleries were commissioned to blend a one-off vatting of just one cask each.
George, James and Peter Wills of Kilchoman, along with Alex Bruce of Adelphi (Ardnamurchan’s parent company) are all former pupils of the Perthshire college, and were delighted when asked to create this limited Blended Malt Scotch Whisky.
Interestingly, Sir William Gladstone, who founded the school in 1847, was also instrumental in future-proofing the Scotch whisky industry by delaying taxation until whisky had sufficiently matured and was ready to bottle. A subsequent Punch cartoon of him dancing for joy over ears of barley and several law books was adopted by Ardnamurchan’s Adelphi Distillery
The Glenalmond 175 Blended Malt is made up of one barrel of peated Kilchoman from 2014, and one barrel of unpeated Ardnamurchan from 2015.
52% ABV / 70cl
Bottle Number: One of only 550 bottles released
