Remark : From Collins Pocket referance : Whisky
Black Bottle was first produced by a family of merchants from Aberdeen in 1879, and has been a premium blend ever since it first appeared on the market. The company was sold to Long John International in 1959, later being acquired by Allied Distillers in 1990, before ultimately passing into the control of Matthew Gloag, the producers of The Famous Grouse blend. A big seller in the Scottish market, Black Bottle is linked to Laphroaig. Its distinctive pot-still shaped bottle, used almost since its first appearance, rapidly became tis trademark and has remained virtually unchanged to the present day.
Tasting comment : Black Bottle is a smooth, superior-quality blend with a fresh hint of peat, complemented by sweeter, malty notes.

Producer of a Ten Year Old Deluxe or Premium Blend.

Distillery :  BLACK & WHITE
James Buchanan adn Co. Ltd.
Buchanan House, 3. Street James's Square, London SW1, UK
(Owner : United Distillers, Banbeath, Leven, Fife / Guinness Plc)
Founded : 1884
Owner : United Distillers
Producer :  James Buchanan
Water : ?
Remark : From Collins Pocket Reference : Whisky
Black & White is the standard blend of the company begun in 1884 by James Buchanan as a whisky blenders and merchants in London. Within a year it was a success, with a contract to supply the House of commons, and the firm was one of the prime movers in the introduction of blended whiskies to the English market. The whisky was bottled and labelled in a very distinctive black and white livery, and this popular nickname eventually was adopted as the brand name. The company amalgamated with Dewar's in 1915, and both joined the Distillers Company ten years later. Black & White is currently available only outside the UK.
Tasting Comments : A clean, pleasant mild blend, Black & White has a fresh, grassy flavour, which is complemented by a light sweetness.

This brand was first known as House of Commons, but the customer simply asked for the black bottle with the white label. Therefore it was renamed Black and White.

The distillery obtains its water supply from Alt-na-frith a local burn (the free stream or creek), which flows through peat and over red granite. Some claim this is ideal water for distilling whisky.

BIG-T :

Big-T comes from The Tomatin Distillery Compagny. The Tomatin Distillery Compagny's premise is not only one of the highest in the country, it is also the largest capacity distillery in the country, with production as high as 5 million gallons per annum. (More than 12 million litres of alcohol)
The company declined in the 1980s and went into receivership, but was bought by the Japanese firms of Takara Schuzo and Okura, thus becoming the first Scotch whisky distillery to be acquired by Japanese owners.

Founded in 1897, the distillery boasts 23 stills. It draws its water from Allt-na-Frithe burn, and at 1,028 feet above sea-level is one of Scotland's highest distilleries.
From the Gaelic, Tomatin means "the hill of the bushes".

Location : Benrinnes, Aberlour, Banffshire. Gramp Region.
Region : Highland Speyside
Country : Scotland
Type :  Malt
Distillery :  Benrinnes Distillery – The Scottish Malt Distillers Ltd.
Founded : Benrinnes – (Believed to be founded in 1835, although evidence exists of distilling on this site in 1826) – 1926 John Dewar & Sons. (DCL)
Owner/Producer:  ?
Water : Ben Rinnes
Remark : From the book 'The Scottish Collection' Classic Malts by Carol P. Shaw :
Tasting notes : This is a complex Speyside malt which has hints of wood and grass to its flavour, and a fruity aftertaste. Taste rating = 4
Built almost 700 feet up the slopes of Ben Rinnes, from which it takes its name, this distillery is believed to have been founded in 1835 although evidence exists of distilling on this site in 1826. It was largely rebuilt and modernized in the 1950's. Most of its production is distilled three times rather than the more usual twice, and almost all is used in United Distillers' blends. The single malt is stille relatively rare, only becoming available in the official bottlings in the Distillery (Flora and Fauna) Malt series early in the 1990's.

BENRIACH


Location : Highland. Close to Longmorn, south of Elgin, Morayshire. Grampian Region.. – Situated three miles south of Elgin to the east of the A941.
Region : Highland
Country : Scotland
Type : Scotch, Single Pure Malt. Highland Speyside (Lossie)
Distillery :  Benriach Distillery
Longmorn Elgin Moray / Morayshire IV30 3SJ
Phone +44 01542-783400
Fax +44 01542-783404
Founded : Est. 1898., and extended in the 1960's and 1970's.
Owner : ?
Producer :  Build by John Duff. Wm. Cadenhead Ltd and Gordon & MacPhail Ltd. 
Producer : Seagram/Chivas
Water : Local springs.
Remark :

Benriach

In 1994 it became available in its first official bottling as a single malt. 

Benriach and Longmorn constributes to the Chivas Regal blend.

From the book 'The Scottish Collection' Classic Malts by Carol P. Shaw :
Tasting notes : A medium bodied, fruity whisky with sweetish overtones and a gently malty finish. A new bottling has been available from the distillery since 1994. Taste rating = 4
Originally built in 1898, Benriach was closed in 1990, after recession hit the previously booming whisky industry. It was refitted and reopened in 1965, although not completely modernized, still retaining its hand turned malting floor. The company is owned by Segram, and most of its produce goes into their blends.
Although the distillery now produces its own, official bottling, this is still not an easy whisky ot come across.

From the Whisky pilot by Uniqum Systems :
Built in 1898, Benriach is situated in Speyside close to the River Lossie. About that time the whisky market suddenly went into recession. It was therefore closed in 1900 and did not open again until 1965, when it was rebuilt by The Glenlivet Distillers Ltd. It has been owned by The Seagram Company of Canada since 1977 and features four stills and floor malting, which is not that common.
Previously only available from independent bottlers, Seagram introduced their own bottling in 1994. The sister distillery to the much prized Longmorn next door, both distilleries were built within four years of each other in the boom years of the 1890's. Like Longmorn, it is an important constituent of the flagship Seagram blend, Chivas Regal.
Benriach Distillery is situated three miles south of Elgin to the east of the A941 .
