Stirling 8 Years Old 2012 - The Arngibbon Sons of Scotland

The Sons of Scotland collection celebrates the history of Stirlingshire's rich whisky making heritage. The first release from the Sons of Scotland series will see Stirling Distillery release single cask bottling features, each named after historical Stirlingshire distilleries.

Arngibbon distillery operated in Kippen, Stirlingshire, for six short years in 1825 by John Morrison. Arngibbon itself was an estate of at least four farms and one country house, which was located southwest of Arnprior.

At the time that the distillery was established there, the estate was the seat of the Forrester family. The distillery itself probably sat near a burn that flowed through the estate and fed into the River Forth.
