The Coopers Choice range of single cask whiskies from Scotland’s finest distilleries is our homage to these fine craftsmen and their important role in the Scotch Whisky industry. Owned by The Vintage Malt Whisky Company which was founded in 1992 by Brian Cook who was the export manager for the Auchentoshan and Bowmore Distilleries. Brian’s aim was to produce a range of malt whiskies from his country’s finest distilleries and make them available to independent wine and spirit importers throughout the world. Now the Vintage Malt Whisky Company is certainly a family-run business with Andrew Crook (Brian’s Son) taking on the mantle as Managing Director. The company has now exported over 5 million bottles worldwide.
The Inchgower Distillery was built in 1871 by Alexander Wilson & Company to replace the Tochineal distillery but liquidated in 1903. In 1938 the ownership was transferred to Arthur Bell & Sons Ltd and to this day the Bell’s logo is used in the advertising of Inchgower. Producing around 2,000,000 litres of spirit annually the distillery is now owned and operated by Diageo and is used as major component in Bell’s blended whisky.
An Inchgower matured in an ex-Bourbon Cask then finished in an ex-Sauternes Cask. Distilled in 2001 and bottled in 2021 at 49.5% cask strength. Only 258 bottles were made available for worldwide distribution.
