Producer Description

It all started in 1820 when a determined young man named John opened his grocery shop in Kilmarnock - a thriving town in Scotland, after the death of his father. Despite a difficult start, John had a spark in him that would ignite his success. Learn more about the man behind the world-renowned Whisky brand.
Within the year, the family farm had been sold and the money used to set him up with his own grocer’s shop in the thriving local town of Kilmarnock. It was a smart move. In those days, most grocers stocked a line of single malts, but they were never consistent. This wasn’t good enough for John. So he started blending them together to create a whisky that tasted just as good every time.
