An unforgettably smooth Scotch blend.
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.
There's a couple of things you should know about Pig's Nose Blend. First of all, let's talk about the name: when a piece of fabric for example was really, really smooth back in the day, farmers would describe it to be as soft as a pig's nose. Now, Pig's Nose Blend is a blend of Speyside, Islay and Lowland malts with superior gentle grain Whiskies and it really is that smooth. It was crafted by 3rd-generation Master Blender Richard Patterson who selected 1st fill American oak casks to age the base – Invergordon grain Whisky. Then, Patterson added 5 premium Single Malts to the mix: 3 from Speyside, 1 from the Highlands, and 1 from Islay. The result is a harmonious balance of flavors on the elegantly light, luscious and creamy palate.

The Flavor Spiral™ shows the most common flavors that you'll taste in Pig's Nose Blend and gives you a chance to have a taste of it before actually tasting it.
We invented Flavor Spiral™ here at Flaviar to get all your senses involved in tasting drinks and, frankly, because we think that classic tasting notes are boring.

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.
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).
Whisky distilling goes way back to 1494 when the first recorded batch was made by a posse of monks who acquired about 60 gallons of barley and decided to turn it into "aqua vitae". They created the first 1,500 bottles of Scotch in History.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
Scotland is home to more than 20 million casks of maturing Whisky. That’s four for every person living there. Nuts!
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.
