A.D. Rattray Cask Collection

Founded by Andrew Dewar Rattray in 1868, the company began trading as an importer of French wines, Italian spirits and olive oil. More importantly, the firm established itself as a specialist in the field of blending and storage of malt and grain whiskies. After several changes in ownership, it returned to the family and is presently owned by Tim Morrison, previously of Morrison Bowmore Distillers and fourth generation descendent of the founder. The company’s resurgence came about in 2002 with the bottling of a ‘new’ Stronachie. In April 2004, using his extensive industry knowledge, Morrison then bottled a selection of his own handpicked whiskies and the A.D. Rattray Cask Collection was born.

The Cask Collection series focuses on Single Cask Cask Strength whisky matured until the team at A.D. Rattray deem it ready, and then bottled at natural colour and cask strength, with zero chill-filtration. Plans for their new Glasgow-based distillery, The Clydeside Distillery, were approved in 2014 and their first whisky under that label bottled in 2021.
