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 currently 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 distillation 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 whisky exceed one million cases. DYC single malt 10 years old debuted in 2010 and was the oldest whisky in the company's offer. The whisky was distilled from Castilian barley and aged in bourbon barrels (American oak).
