The Morrison family can trace their involvement in the whisky business back over five generations. This includes Brian’s grandfather, William Walker a pre-eminent whisky broker of his era and was succeeded by Brian’s father, Stanley P. Morrison.
Stanley cemented the family’s roots in the industry when he purchased
Islay’s oldest distillery — Bowmore, which Brian would later become managing
director of before its sale to Suntory.
In their new venture the family are committed to continuing
to impart the knowledge that has been passed down to them from generations of
whisky makers.
As part of the revamp, Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers
will be launching new expressions from all three of its brands in 2021, starting
later this month with the release of Strata from its Mac-Talla range; a 15 Year
Old Islay single malt Scotch whisky.
Commenting on the news, Jamie Morrison, Chairman of Morrison
Scotch Whisky Distillers, said: “As one of Scotland’s oldest whisky families,
we can trace our involvement in the whisky business back five generations where
we have held almost every role possible in the industry including licensed
grocers, brokers, blenders, bottlers and distillers. In the coming years we
will release Aberargie Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Distilled in our purpose-built
facility in Aberargie, just outside Perth, its release will mark the return to distilling
after nearly 25 years for my Father and I”.
Mac-Talla Strata (46% ABV) will be available later this month from
specialist retailers, for a RRP of £64.95.
