A complex and well-rounded whisky dedicated to our whisky mentor and friend, the late Dr. Jim Swan.
Cask strength Founder's Choice Single Malt Whisky is made with 100% locally grown, floor-malted barley and aged exclusively in the founder, Dan's, favourite casks: STR (Shaved, Toasted and Re-charred) ex-red wine casks. These highly active casks were created by their mentor and renowned whisky consultant, the late Dr. Jim Swan, and give a rich and intense maturation to their fruity new make spirit, offering strong notes of toffee, chocolate and red fruits, as well as a beautiful, deep colour.
