About this bottle
The thistle of Scotland decanter was crafted exclusively for Mackinlay's and produced in a limited quantity by Royal Worcester - a name synonymous with the highest standards of English fine porcelain since 1751.
The artistry of Royal Worcester is reflected in the lithographic reproduction of Sir Edwin Landseer's painting 'The Illicit Still', by kind permission of the Wellington Museum. Aspley House, London.
This beautiful decanter contains whisky which has been matured in Oak wood for over 20 years.

Blended whisky is an artful marriage of different types of whiskies, typically combining grain whiskies with malt whiskies from various distilleries. This blending process aims to achieve a balance, creating a whisky with a harmonious flavour profile where the strengths of each component are highlighted, while any potential weaknesses are cleverly masked. Blended whiskies offer a consistent taste across batches, making them a favourite for both new whisky drinkers and connoisseurs alike. They can vary widely in style, often providing a smoother, more approachable character than single malts, and are perfect for enjoying neat, on the rocks, or as the foundation for a cocktail. Each blend is a unique recipe, often kept secret by master blenders, showcasing their expertise in creating a spirit that's greater than the sum of its parts.
