A complex blend of over 40 malts that gives a lingering finish with a hint of honey. Old Smuggler is an internationally known distinctive blended scotch whiskey with a rich history dating back to 1835. Exceptional smooth taste is due to its special blend of the finest scotch whiskies.
In 1644 the Scottish parliament introduced a notorious exise duty on scotch whisky--smuggling quickly became a way of life for the distillers. Unable to curtail the smuggling, the government was eventually forced to reduce the duty in the early 1800s. One of the few distilleries to have survived from that time is Old Smuggler, who chose their name to honor the spirit of the early whisky maker.
Old Smuggler is best enjoyed before or after dinner; either straight on the rocks, in a shot, or as an essential ingredient in cocktails.
