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.
