Appropriate, perhaps, as rock music has long been associated with
rebellion against various societal norms. And our humble company has
been associated, for better or for worse, with a reaction against the
industrial "traditions” of Scotch whisky production.
We like to think of our approach as reflecting a craft ethos--making
whisky better for the sake of it. Flaming Heart is an ideal example of
this approach.
It is a whisky that combines superior, new French oak-matured
Highland single malt whiskies – with all their fruitiness, richness,
spice-like character and sweetness – with heavy-peated Islay single
malts. The combination yields a complex flavour profile like no other
Scotch malt whisky: big, bold, rich, sweet, smoky. In the melodramatic
parlance of a rock lyric, it is a whisky born of fire, yet one with a
big heart.
