Original Notizen:

Bank Note is a premium 5yo Scotch Whisky offering the perfect mix of the finest malt whiskies (40%) from the Speyside and Highland regions, blended expertly together with the purest grain whisky (60%) from the Lowlands of Scotland.

Slowly matured in oak casks to produce a mellow taste with sweet richness and good depth of flavour, its appeal is timeless and, like other classic whiskies, is as relevant today as it was over one hundred and fifty years ago.

The company had one of the largest bottling and blending cellars in Glasgow with warehouses on the river Clyde where the great passenger liners and their cargo set off for all parts of the globe. Throughout its history the company was dedicated to quality and played a prominent and influential role in the Scotch Whisky Industry.

The 19th Century saw long-lasting changes which had a fundamental effect on the whisky industry. These included the introduction of blended whisky whereby different makes of malt were allowed to be blended with grain whisky.

James Sword had an extensive selection of whiskies and was responsible for establishing the Bank Note brand. Today, Bank Note is distributed by descendants of a marriage between two of the great whisky families, the Walkers, who established James Sword and Dewar Rattray, and the Morrisons, renowned for their careful stewardship of the Bowmore, Glen Garioch and Auchentoshan distilleries.

The families’ inherited knowledge and traditional skills passed down through the generations are evident in the distinctive characters of their whiskies.
