One of Edinburgh’s most popular whisky bars has teamed up with a Lowlands distillery to launch its own brand single cask, single malt.
Over the last year, the team behind The Auld Hundred on Rose Street has been working with Annandale Distillery in Dumfries and Galloway to create and bottle its own label Scotch whisky, ‘Auld Dram’, which is now available exclusively at its historic New Town venue.
Around 290 bottles of the limited-edition tipple are now being produced at 50% (ABV) and made available by the dram and bottle, while stocks last.
Auld Hundred’s single malt has been matured for six years in an ex-bourbon cask, non-chill filtered, giving it a natural colour.
On the palate, expect wood spice, vanilla, biscuit, pepper, stone fruits and stewed apples. It also brings a light floral aroma of sweet biscuity malt, buttery vanilla, golden syrup, and cooked orchard fruits. The finish offers sweet malt and cooked fruits, and a creamy mouth feel.
The Auld Hundred has already made its name as a popular destination for whisky lovers. With over 100 whiskies available in-house, the traditional pub proudly boasts one of the largest whisky collections in Edinburgh, offering everything from smooth and mellow drams to bold, smoky favourites – a true celebration of Scotland’s national spirit.
The Auld Hundred is also one of Rose Street’s oldest pubs, beginning life as a mission hall before becoming a pub in the 1800s, with its history etched into every snug corner and well-worn beam.
Chris Sloan, Whisky Ambassador for Signature Group, which owns Auld Hundred, said:
“After a year of hard work and determination, we’re so excited to be finally raising a glass to our very own dram, thanks to the skill and craftsmanship of our friends at Annandale Distillery.
“Our Auld Hundred single malt now takes pride of place amongst one of the largest whisky collections in Edinburgh and is exclusively available from us by the dram or by the bottle for locals to enjoy at home and as a souvenir for visitors to the city.
“For those with a sweet tooth, our new dram pairs perfectly with our homemade sticky toffee pudding.”
John Coombes, UK Market Manager from Annandale Distillery, said:
“Upon meeting the Auld Hundred team, I could tell we shared the same passion for whisky. It has been my pleasure collaborating with them to bring their vision to life. We are proud of this dram. I look forward to its success and working with Chris and the Auld Hundred team again”
