Let's Pour One for the Big News…Lochs of Whisky Now Official Stockists of A D Rattray
I've been itching to tell you this one — Lochs of Whisky is now an official stockist of A.D. Rattray!
Yep, that A.D. Rattray. The independent bottler that's been quietly (but powerfully) shaping whisky shelves since 1868. They're the kind of name that doesn't need to shout — their whiskies do all the talking. And now, you'll find them right here in our store.
Check out our A.D. Rattray Distillery page
Why A.D. Rattray?
There's a certain romance to the way A.D. Rattray does things. They pick casks based on flavour, not fancy marketing. They bottle without chill filtration, keep the colour real, and often stick to cask strength, so you're getting whisky as nature (and the cask) intended.
They don't cut corners, and frankly, that makes them our kind of people.
Whether you're into smoky island drams or elegant Speyside styles, this range has something to stir your dram-loving soul.
Our A.D. Rattray Selection
Let’s get down to the good stuff — here’s what’s landed on our shelves:
| Whisky | Type | Age | What It Tastes Like |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cask Islay Classic Single Malt | Single Malt | NAS | A warming hug of smoke, honeycomb, sea breeze and just a hint of lemon zest. Great for peat fans. |
| Cask Orkney 15 Year Old | Single Malt | 15 Years | A big, brooding Highland Park-style dram with gentle peat, honeyed barley, and spice. Rich and rewarding. |
| Glenburn 7 Year Old 2016 | Blended Scotch | 7 Years | Surprisingly complex for a young blend — think apples, baking spice and buttery shortbread. Great neat or in a highball. |
| Glen Moray 10 Year Old 2013 | Single Malt | 10 Years | All about balance: soft orchard fruits, creamy vanilla, and gentle oak. A total crowd-pleaser. |
What Makes This Line-up So Special?
A.D. Rattray bottles what they believe in — no fluff, no-nonsense. You’re tasting whisky that has been chosen for one reason: it’s brilliant.
Even their blends (like Glenburn) get the same care as their single malts. And let me tell you — that Glenburn 7 is wildly underrated. Stick it in a tumbler, throw on a record, and it sings.

These bottles aren’t just great on their own — they’re perfect for tasting flights or casual evenings with mates. Here’s a quick guide:
- For the peat lovers: Start with Cask Islay and move to Cask Orkney.

- For a twist, Add soda to the Glenburn for a killer highball.
