Big Flavour from Dumbarton: The Indie Bottler with Heart
Nestled in the historic town of Dumbarton, Scotland, Dràm Mòr—meaning "Big Whisky" in Gaelic—has been making waves in the whisky world since its inception in 2019. Founded by the passionate duo, Kenny and Viktorija Macdonald, Dràm Mòr began as an export agency but soon transitioned into independent bottling, driven by a desire to share exceptional single cask whiskies and rums with enthusiasts worldwide.
Their approach is refreshingly straightforward: source outstanding casks, bottle them without chill filtration or added colouring, and present them at cask strength. This commitment ensures that each release offers a genuine and unadulterated tasting experience, capturing the essence of the spirit and its maturation journey.
