The Fat Trout Blended Scotch Whisky | 700ML

The Fat Trout is a three-year-old blended Scotch, produced by Ian Macleod "By appointment to the enthusiastic flyfishers of the world", according to the label. A dram of whisky is surely the perfect way to wind down after a day of wading around in a river, and hopefully, celebrate a successful catch or two.

The Fat Trout Blended Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Delicate layers of fruit and heather followed by biscuity malt, vanilla, and a whisper of smoke.

Palate: Orange marmalade and a touch of bitter pith are balanced by vanilla and dried apricot while prickles of pepper and cinnamon develop alongside that peat smoke from the nose.

Finish: Drying spice, coffee grounds, cocoa, and candied orange.

Distillery Information

Ian Macleod and Company was founded on the 26th October 1933. Today the company produces a number of spirits, though it is most centred on Scotch whisky. Leonard Russell Sr was a whisky broker and it was his family that acquired Ian Macleod on the 18th March 1963, with Peter Russell as the managing director. The first brand was acquired during that year, namely Isle of Skye blended whisky. Peter’s brother, David became the director in 1964 and he stayed with the company until 2000. Over the course of the 20th century, Ian Macleod acquired a gin brand as well as further Scotch brands. At the turn of the millennium, Watson’s rum was acquired and the name was changed to Ian Macleod Distillers in 2003 with the acquisition of the Glengoyne distillery and the Langs brand.
