To celebrate our partnership with The Open, golf’s original Championship, our Master Blender Michael Henry has crafted this rich expression. The Open Special Edition 2026 is a toast to the people, places and moments that make The Open exceptional.
Distilled in our remarkable Straight neck stills stills, at a range of collection strengths, then matured in casks that have been expertly crafted by our own traditional cooperage, creating a complex whisky that showcases our capability in distilling and our unrivalled ability in flavour creation.
This single malt is crafted from whisky distilled only in our unique Straight Neck stills. It is first matured in American Oak casks to build our signature fruit, honey and soft smoke, then finished for 6 months in Argentinian Malbec casks to bring richer dark berries, vibrant red fruits and gentle spice.
Bottled at 46%, non-chill filtered with natural colour to keep things just as nature intended.
Dark berries, redcurrant and citrus zest with vanilla, honey and soft malt.
Blackberry, raspberry and peach syrup, layered with crisp apple, toffee sweetness and gentle spice. A subtle thread of smoke runs through the palate.
Medium length with lingering berry sweetness, soft Oak spice and a light, smoky warmth.
