A blend of malt whiskies (mainly Highlands and Speyside) and grain whisky from Lowland areas; components are assembled and left to marry in selected oak casks to develop complexity and harmony.

During the 20th century it passed through various owners and commercial mergers; since 1996 the brand has been part of the Tomatin Distillery Company, which relaunched and refreshed its look and range from 2015 onwards.
