Starting this April, Tanduay will make Scottish Legacy Blended Scotch Whisky available in the Philippines. This is after the company signed an agreement with independent manufacturer and distributor Quality Spirits International.
“Importing Scottish Legacy is still in line with our business expansion plan. We wanted to include a premium whisky with an outstanding origin as part of our offering. Like Tanduay’s rums, its whiskies are made from the highest quality local ingredients from its country and are expertly blended and distilled,” said Kyle Tan, Executive Vice President of Tanduay.
Scottish Legacy is a blend of the grain and malt whiskies from Scotland created using a range of Speyside and Highland malt whiskies blended together with the grain whisky from the country’s Lowlands region.
Quality malt and barley, as well as the clear water drawn from the lochs and rivers in the hills around the brand’s distillery located in the Scottish Highlands, make up the raw ingredients of its whiskies. Its coopers also use traditional methods and tools to maintain, repair, and re-char the oak barrels used for the maturation process.
The barrel-aging process for the whiskies takes three years. Only then will the Master Blender select the whiskies that will make up Scottish Legacy Blended Scotch Whisky.
Scottish Legacy Blended Scotch Whisky has a golden color with brilliant clarity. Its aroma is clean and crisp, with hints of vanilla. It is mellow on the taste with sweet richness and depth of flavor. It is clean on the palate with lingering sweetness.
“Scottish Legacy perfectly complements our present portfolio. While the market for whisky in the Philippines is still small compared to other spirit types, there are customers who are looking for sophisticated whiskies that are more affordable than what is currently available,” Tan said.
Scottish Legacy Blended Scotch Whisky will be available in April through shots.ph, the e-commerce site of Tanduay. It will also soon be found in stores nationwide.
