DR SCOTCH WHISKY
“In pursuit of the best Scotch Whisky we can source and create”

WHAT WE DO

At DR Scotch we source new make or mature spirit and give it the benefit of time in the best possible casks we can source. Only when it’s ready will we release it to a suitable ‘home’.

If you would like to ‘adopt’ one of our casks please let us know.

Our main business is the maturing of Scotch whisky. That said, we bottle the occasional cask for our pleasure and yours and are happy to present this to you. After all the years we’ve been in the Industry, we’re not about to compromise our integrity or reputation.

So, if you need to ask what age the whisky in the DR Scotch bottle is, it’s not for you!

If you’re willing to ’trust us’, give it a go. Will you enjoy it ? We’re certain you will.

DR Scotch Whisky source only the finest casks ensuring the highest quality of Scotch Whisky on reaching maturity. When is it ready? …
Only when we’re happy to put our name on it !

History of Scotch

Uisge beatha | The Water of Life | Scotch Whisky… Whatever you call Scotland’s national drink, and whichever Scotch you discover, you know that it is a product of quality, crafted in Scotland, with a unique heritage stretching back more than 500 years, brought to your door by DR Scotch Whisky

The story of Scotch begins as early as the 15th century. The earliest documented record of distilling in Scotland occurred in 1494 in the tax records of the day, the Exchequer Rolls.

An entry lists “Eight bolls of malt to Friar John Cor wherewith to make aqua vitae.”

Friar John was in luck – this was enough malted barley to produce almost 1,500 bottles of a potent spirit which would be refined and improved in the years ahead. These 1500 bottles are well lost to posterity, but we at DR Scotch Whisky search throughout Scotland only for the finest spirit.

Scotland is famous for its crystal clear waters that flow down the heather covered hills producing the purest water for the finest Whisky
