Discover Duncan Taylor: Guardians of Scotland’s Whisky Heritage
At Boisdale’s online shop, we are proud to present Duncan Taylor, one of Scotland’s most respected independent whisky companies. With a legacy rooted in rare casks and uncompromising standards, Duncan Taylor has spent decades curating and bottling some of the finest Scotch whiskies available to the world.
A Heritage of Independent Spirit
Founded in 1938, Duncan Taylor built its reputation as a specialist in cask broking before expanding into independent bottling. Over generations, the company has carefully acquired and matured one of the largest privately held collections of rare whisky casks in Scotland. This treasure trove forms the backbone of their exceptional releases today.
From Speyside to Islay, Duncan Taylor works with Scotland’s most iconic distilleries, capturing the unique character of each region in its bottlings.
Craft and Philosophy
Unlike mass-market producers, Duncan Taylor focuses on authenticity and provenance. Whiskies are matured in carefully selected oak casks, with minimal intervention to preserve the natural character of each spirit. The philosophy is simple: let the whisky speak for itself.
From rare single malts to artfully crafted blends, every release reflects decades of expertise, patience and dedication to Scotland’s whisky heritage.
