About this bottle
Part of the distillery's Stories range, this expression honors the history of Malt Master David Stewart MBE, whose initial release dates to the 1970s. The single malt is first matured in ex-bourbon casks, then finished in ex-oloroso sherry casks, mirroring the method of Stewart's debut release.
