Catto's launch Limited Edition 25 year old to
celebrate the brand’s 150th Anniversary.
 One
of the first Scotch whisky blends,
Catto's have announced the launch of a
special commemorative edition of their
25 year old blend to celebrate the
brand’s 150th anniversary. With only
2400 being produced, it will be
accompanied by a limited edition Lochinvar crystal decanter enclosing
their award winning 25 year old blend.
The specially designed box features a
premium limited edition black
leatherette finish with a gold foil
print and will be available in export
markets from September 2011.
The whisky’s founder, James Catto is a
legendary figure in the development of
the Scotch Whisky industry, being
credited as one of the very first whisky
blenders. It was in 1861 that he began
his business in Aberdeen by deciding to
blend the high quality local Highland
malt whiskies he sold in his grocery
store with popular Lowland grain
whiskies until he felt he’d created the
finest blended Scotch – his whisky was
an instant success.
Still popular today, Catto's portfolio
includes Rare Old Scottish, Deluxe 12
year old and the 25 year old which will
feature in the 150th anniversary
edition. The 25 year old is a well
balanced blend, amber in colour and
sweet and spicy on the palate with a
long lasting toffee and raisin finish.
It received a gold medal at the IWSC
awards in 2010, was awarded best in
class for Deluxe Whisky and has just won
a gold at the International Spirits
Challenge Awards.
Brand Manager for Catto's, Lynne Buckley
of International Beverage Holdings said:
"James Catto was an innovative Scot,
creating a blend that has stood the test
of time and is still as popular today as
it was then. We’re delighted to be able
to celebrate the 125th anniversary of
his blended whisky and hope that his
legacy continues on for a long time to
come."
This limited edition will be available
in Russia, Paraguay, Mexico, Venezuela,
Panama, Ecuador, Chile Uruguay and
Vietnam.
