Spencerfield Spirits was set up in a small town in Scotland by Alex Nicol, a former marketing director at Glenmorangie. Spencerfield is a family run business dedicated to producing quality niche alternatives to more known conventional mainstream brands. Their flagship product is the Sheep Dip and Pig’s Nose is its stable mate – both curiously named due to the fact that the blender is located on a farm.
Pig's Nose 5YO is a blended Scotch Whisky made with 40% single malt, created by Richard Paterson, Scotland’s only third-generation master blender. Pig’s Nose is known for being soft as a pig’s nose – it’s smoothness apparently achieved through a blend of first-fill oak cask-aged Speyside, Islay and Lowland malts with superior Invergordon gentle grain Whiskies.

Blended Whiskies are the result of years of craftsmanship and dedication. A master blender does not simply wake up one day with a profound ability to create a cohesive and enjoyable liquid. From nosing the liquid to working out quantities of each different grain and malt to go into the blend, a master blender can take years, if not decades, to train.
Categories of Scotch Whisky: Single malt, Blended malt (formerly called Vatted malt), blended, single grain and blended grain Scotch.
Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most Single Malts are matured longer, though).
Beer and malt Whisky seem to have quite a bit in common. Both drinks begin with malted barley, which deliver the enzymes and sugars needed for fermentation when steeped in hot water. The two go their separate ways at the wash stage, where they're fermented or aged to become the adult beverages you know and love.
Single malt stands for around 10% of the Scotch market. This is a malt containing only one grain, legally required to be barley in Scotland, and made at a single distillery.
A blended Scotch is a combination of different malts from different distilleries. It is typically made from grain Whisky but does include malt Whisky to give it a more complex body.
A blended Scotch is a combination of different malts from different distilleries. It is typically made from grain Whisky but does include malt Whisky to give it a more complex body.
First-class Whiskies are taxed not only by the state but also by the angels. This refers to the 4% of Whisky that evaporates from the barrels every year, a phenomenon known as the angel’s share.
