WILDMOOR’s range presents another slivered look of the Scottish plains.
Embodying the untamed beauty of Scotland, WILDMOOR invites whisky enthusiasts on a journey through ancient moorlands, rugged coastlines, dense forests, unspoiled mountain ranges, and imposing lochs.
It started 60 years prior when William Grant & Sons went on a quest to acquire a vast reserve of rare, high-aged malt and grain whiskies from every corner of Scotland. WILDMOOR is one such acquisition. Selected for its unique character, much like the ever-evolving Scottish landscape, these whiskies have matured over decades resulting in a phenomenal depth and complexity.
Further honed under the keening eye of Master Blender Brian Kinsman, WILDMOOR’s catalogue can be seen as a “flavour map” of Scotland. Within each glass of WILDMOOR, you’re transported to the Scottish territories beyond the confines of a single distillery style. WILDMOOR’s core range is recognisable by its dark hue—a unique profile to its whiskies—thanks to the sherry cask maturation.
All WILDMOOR bottle exteriors are designed with the rugged, elemental textures and forms of the Scottish landscape. From rural lowlands to unspoiled uplands, coastlines, rivers, and lochs; each bottle acts as a physical panorama of Scotland’s epic beauty.
