THE STORY

In 1879 Three Graham brothers - Charles, David and Gordon quickly made a name for themselves as tea blenders, but soon turned their attention to a very different drink, whisky. Drawing on his remarkable tea blending skills, Gordon Graham has selected the finest malt and grain whiskeys and blended them to create a whiskey of exceptional character. It was a unique blend, rich and slightly smoky.
