Product description
Destilerias y Crianza was founded in 1959 by the “father of Spanish whisky” Nicomedes Garcia Gomez. The Pedro Domecq Group bought it in 1987, and DYC is now part of the Beam Suntory group.
The company has two distilleries in Segovia, Distilerio Molino del Arco and Valverde del Majano. The first is equipped with stills and columns and annually produces about 8 million liters of grain distillate and 1.2 million liters of malt, while the second supplies only grain distillate. Annual sales of DYC whiskey exceed one million cases per year. DYC Pure Malt is most likely a single malt from the Molino del Arco distillery, the only one producing malt whiskey. DYC distillates are aged in barrels from the Jim Beam distillery in Kentucky.
