Crafting Excellence: Brian Kinsman’s Vision
WILDMOOR unveils a distinguished range of high-age-statement whiskies meticulously blended from William Grant & Sons extensive reserve of Scotch whiskies sourced from various regions across Scotland. Helmed by master blender Brian Kinsman, who assumed the role in 2009 after joining the company as a whisky chemist in 1997, the collection comprises seven expressions ranging from 21 to 40 years old.
Embracing Scotland’s Wilderness
Inspired by the untamed beauty of Scotland’s rugged landscapes, Kinsman and William Grant & Sons embarked on a journey to encapsulate the essence of its wild terrains. “Our vision for WILDMOOR was to craft whiskies that capture the raw splendor of Scotland’s most remote and breathtaking landscapes,” remarked Kinsman.
A Multisensory Tribute
With unrestricted access to the family’s treasured reserves, Kinsman delved deep into his personal memories of Scotland’s untamed regions, curating a series of exceptionally aged and prestigious blended malts and whiskies. Each expression serves as a multisensory homage to Scotland’s vast topography.
