The history of Clan MacGregor Blended Scotch Whisky
Clan MacGregor is a Scottish blended whisky produced by William Grant & Sons, the owner of the Glenfiddich distillery. While Glenfiddich whisky is a household name for every fan of malt whisky, William Grant & Sons is also trying to establish itself successfully in the highly competitive blended whisky market with Clan MacGregor. This has so far been very successful with Clan MacGregor Blended Scotch Whisky, which was one of the most successful new launches in recent years. The name of this blended whisky goes back to the infamous MacGregor Clan. This clan is said to be directly descended from Kenneth MacAlpin, the first King of the Scots, and is considered one of the bravest clans in Scottish history. The MacGregors became famous in 1603, when a cattle raid led to a battle with the rival Colquhoun clan. According to tradition, 200 Colquhouns and only two MacGregors were killed. As a result, the MacGregors were declared outlaws by King James VI and a reward was offered for every dead MacGregor. This law was not repealed by Parliament until 1774.
The production of Clan MacGregor Blended Scotch Whisky
Clan MacGregor Scotch Whisky is a fine Scottish blended Scotch whisky made from a total of 15 different whiskies matured in oak barrels. As is usual with blended whisky, both malt whiskies and grain whiskies were used for this bottling. The grain whiskies give the Clan MacGregor Blended Scotch Whisky a certain lightness and a pleasant spiciness, while the proportion of malt whisky ensures a pleasant sweetness and full-bodiedness.
The taste of the Clan MacGregor Blended Scotch Whisky
Straw-gold in color, the Clan McGregor Blended Scotch Whisky shows a characteristic sweetness, vanilla, malt and a hint of smoke on the nose. Then on the palate a subtle fruitiness, malt and oak notes. Overall very soft and velvety and with a long and clear aftertaste. A high-quality and affordable blended whisky!
