Wright & Greig Ltd was established in Glasgow in 1868 and 20 years later it was listed in a directory of the city’s firms as a wholesale wine and whisky merchant in a vast 12,700 square foot premises on Cadogan Street, in the city.
‘The firm’s blends are famed in all parts of the globe,’ gushed the directory, ‘and in Scotland there is not a place of any note where their name is not known and regarded.’
The name Wright & Greig would have been familiar to many in the Scotch whisky trade at the end of the 19th century, certainly in its home city of Glasgow. The firm was best known for its Roderick Dhu blend, named after the character in Sir Walter Scott’s novel The Lady of the Lake, and for owning the Dallas Dhu distillery on Speyside. At what point Wright & Greig’s Special blend was launched is unclear.
40% ABV / 70cl
