Family Traditions and Brand Background
The brand also links Legacy to inherited family customs: “from spending an entire afternoon decorating the house with festive decorations to family recipes that no one ever wrote down.” As for 12 Year Old Triple Cask, the brand says it suits the day “when everyone finally gathers together, often with three generations around one table, each bringing a little of their own.”
Cù Bòcan is the distillery’s experimental branch, produced only in the Highland winter, and its name comes from a ghost dog in local legend. The roots of The Antiquary trace back to Edinburgh in 1888, and its name is taken from a novel by Sir Walter Scott.
