The Story

A journey across Scotland, in one glass.

Made to win you over from the very first sip.

Every human and every single malt is unique. Geography and culture shape both: the water that runs beneath the land, the weather that crosses it, the hands that tend the stills and the patience of those who wait. To travel the whole of Scotland in a single evening would be impossible. To taste it is not.

Glenmaster Original is our signature blend: a marriage of the finest aged single malt Scotch whiskies, each carrying its own legacy and heritage. Rich and generous, it is composed to win you over from the very first sip, and to keep its promise long after.

Like every Glenmaster, Original is made from pure Scottish single malts and nothing else. It is distilled, blended, aged and bottled in Scotland, in the old-fashioned way we have never wished to change.
