The Cabrach Rolls Out Launch Whisky
An upcoming Speyside distillery, The Cabrach, has released its first Scotch whisky and invites consumers to join its collective. It will be located in Cabrach, on the southern edge of Moray, known for illicit stills and smuggling.
Founded by The Cabrach Trust, the distillery is expected to begin distilling in August 2017. It will feature a heritage center, as well as a hub for learning new skills for the community.
The distillery will operate as a social enterprise, with all earnings going to the trust’s community goals. It will produce 100k liters of single malt Scotch whisky a year, using locally sourced barley.
Meanwhile, The Cabrach Trust has released its first single malt whisky, The Feering Early Harvest, a blend of whiskies from four local Speyside distilleries. Feering Early Harvest, the first of three whiskies in The Feering range, is sold exclusively through The Whisky Shop and selected local retailers.
The Cabrach Rolls Out Feering Early Harvest Whisky
Cabrach has introduced The Cabrach Collective, a small community of ‘founding champions’ who will receive exclusive bottlings. Membership will fetch the debut single malt and The Feering range, for £1,245 (US$1,534).
Winchester said: “Ahead of the opening of the distillery, we are proud to launch The Cabrach Collective, an opportunity for whisky enthusiasts to join us on this remarkable journey and play a vital part in restoring a proud community like few others.
“One of the key member benefits is The Feering, which has been created for the sole purpose of beginning the regeneration of this special place in Scotland’s malt whisky story.
“Across our series of three, each expression will offer whisky lovers a different flavour experience and we are excited to share The Feering Early Harvest, a beautifully mellow, yet sprightly dram.
“It’s a dram that reflects the whisky-making mastery the Cabrach was once famed for in the 1800s, combining a pervading warmth akin to the fabled hospitality of the area.”
