About
Scotland's only distillery to triple-distil every drop of spirit (a process more commonly associated with Irish whiskey), producing an exceptionally smooth, delicate, and accessible single malt. The name means 'corner of the field' in Gaelic. Located in Clydebank on the outskirts of Glasgow, near the Highland Line boundary. The extra distillation strips away heavier oils, yielding a clean, citrusy, light spirit. Survived bombing during the Clydebank Blitz of 1941. The Three Wood expression is a standout.
