CLAN FRASER RESERVE BLENDED SCOTCH WHISKY
The Borders Distillery, which opened in 2018, is the first new, legal distillery to be founded in the Borders Region of Scotland in over 138 years and takes pride in the art of distilling and blending – whether it be making their own spirit to become Single Malt Scotch Whisky or
selecting and marrying others from across Scotland. This unique blend of the finest malt Scottish whiskies is inspired by the ingenuity, determination, and pioneering spirit of the Fraser Clan.

THE RESERVE is a triple distilled Lowlands whisky which region is typically characterized by the notes of grass, honeysuckle, cream, toffee, cinnamon, citrus, and ginger. These descriptions of Lowlands whisky are one of the reasons that the region is touted as the home of “The Lowland Ladies”. It should be noted that being triple distilled increases the alcohol content during the process which removes the heavier components such as oils and proteins found in other ocean-oriented regional spirits. This, in turn, gives THE RESERVE a lighter, smoother taste and finish.

Professional whisky tasters have described THE RESERVE as:

NOSE: Delicately sweet peat smoke, honeyed and buttery with hints of cinnamon and vanilla. The solvent and astringent green notes diminish on the nose with time, but the palate and finish remain.

PALATE: Fragrant blossom honey, raisins and figs, sweet butterscotch, and light peat smoke. The mouthfeel is very light highlighting the ultra-smooth taste

FINISH: A well rounded finish, creamy vanilla with a very, very gentle peat smoke.

WE amateur whisky lovers just say, “I love it and perhaps another wee dram or two”. In other words, while both we and the professional tasters can describe what we each taste in a glass of THE RESERVE, our unlimited praise can only be a guide to your own exploration of the five
senses when you pour your first taste:

The VISION of golden color,
The splash HEARD when poured in a glass,
The AROMA of years of maturity,
The TASTE a tribute to the blending of whiskies, and
The FEEL of ultra-smoothness.
