Producer Description

Cooper’s Choice Single Cask bottlings from Vintage Malt have won numerous awards for their innovative and creative cask maturations and finishes.  Master blender, Andrew, is always thinking ahead to create some of the most interesting single cask releases in the Scotch industry.

The brand takes it’s name from the highly skilled Cooper  –  an art passed on from generation to generation since the middle ages.  The Cooper’s 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.

Vintage Malt was founded in 1992 by Brian Crook, after many years in the whisky industry as Export Director for one of Scotland’s best known distillers. His 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.

Brian’s approach proved so popular with customers that, 25 years on, the company has exported more than 10 million bottles of malt whisky to more than 30 countries across the world, and is now recognised as one of Scotland’s leading independent bottlers.
