Product description
Smokin' – The Gentleman's Dram debuted in February 2013 in the offer of Duncan Taylor Ltd. The company was founded in 1938 and initially dealt in wholesale whisky.
Acquired in 2001 by Euan Shand, the company focused on bottling its own stock and has built a portfolio that is as broad as it is compelling. Described as a “contemporary blend with a nod to the past,” Smokin’ is a small-batch blend made from smoked and peated spirits sourced primarily from off-Islay. Shortly after its launch, Smokin’ won a double gold medal at the 2014 San Francisco Wine & Spirits Competition.
