Scotch Whisky is known the world-over by the Brand names of large blending companies. These blends are the mixture of the products of various distilleries which were originally independent family owned units. Until the middle of the 20th century there were many small firms that bottled and sold the pure product of the local distilleries. Since Victorian times the firm of William Cadenhead has provided this service. However a diminution of public interest caused the small bottling companies to close down. Only a small handful of distilleries still remain in the ownership of their founding families and even fewer of the bottling companies remain active, William Cadenhead is one of the notable survivors.
A.F.D. or the Acoholes Finos Dominicanos Distillery opened in 2009, founded by a Spanish group, it is the most modern distillery of the Caribbean, boasting of energy autonomy
This independent bottle by Cadenhead’s has been matured in a single cask for 19 years and bottled at 55% abv. It was distilled in 2001 and bottled in 2020.
