As recently as 1992 a single malt Scotch whisky was released from the distillery, for many years it had been a blending component and was a constituent of Haig blends.
A more recent release, Loch Dhu, has attained popularity in Denmark, with the moniker ‘The Black Whisky’, Its colour is achieved by double charring the bourbon casks prior to maturation.
The Black Whisky was latterly replaced by the similarly sinister-looking Cu Dhub, named for the Gaelic for Black Dog.
