Pig's Nose - Blended Scotch Whiskey - 40%
Pig's Nose is a Scottish blend brand owned since 2016 by the family business Ian Macleod . Pig's Nose was first bottled in 1977 as a 4-year-old blend by a farmer and pub manager to join its predecessor, Sheep Dip, which was his house brand. The pub was located in Oldbury on Severn, and as the small business grew it began supplying Fortnum & Mason (a large luxury goods store in central London) and established itself on the American, Canadian and New Zealand market. Pig's Nose, along with partner Sheep Dip, was eventually taken over by Invergordon Distillers in 1993, which became a branch of Whyte & Mackay. In 2005 the brands left Whyte & Mackay with then COO Alex Nicol , who set up Spencerfield Spirits Company in Fife with his wife, Jane. Pig's Nose and Sheep Dip continued to be produced by Whyte & Mackay master blender Richard Paterson until Spencerfield Spirits was acquired by Ian Macleod Distillers in late 2016.
Pig's Nose is a relatively rich 5 year old blended Scotch , with 40% malt content from Speyside, Islay and the Lowlands combined with grain whiskey from Invergordon, all matured in ex-barrels. First fill bourbon.
