 Mackillop's
Choice independent whisky bottler was
founded in 1996 by Angus Dundee
Distillers (owner of the Glencadam and
Tomintoul distilleries).
It is named after Lorne Mackillop. Lorne Mackillop is the heir
to the chief of the Mackillop Clan,
which was all but wiped out by the
English in the aftermath of the battle
of Culloden in 1745 during the Jabobite
Rebellion.
After seven years extensive training in
wines and spirits, Lorne Mackillop
became a member of the Institute of
Masters of Wine in London in 1984, and,
at that time, was the youngest person to
be accepted as a Master of Wine. The
Institute presides over the most
demanding examinations in wines and
spirits in the world and, since its
foundation in 1953, only a few members
worldwide have passed these examinations
and been considered worthy of this
prestigious qualification. His
comprehensive knowledge of whisky is
reflected in the quality of "Mackillop's
Choice".
Lorne selects the casks that are bottled
in the Mackillop's Choice range. It is a
range of specially selected single malt
Scotch whiskies drawn from individual
casks, and are bottled at either 43% or
46% alcohol, but more predominantly at
their natural cask strength, without
chill-filtering or the addition of any
caramel colouring, which helps preserve
the malts natural characteristics of
aroma and taste.
