The Exceptional Malt

Eight Single Malts, no compromises.

You have to be a bit cheeky to name your Whisky “The Exceptional.” Not just “Exceptional Whisky” or “Exceptionally Good Whisky”… but “THE Exceptional.” Well spirits industry veteran Don Sutcliffe founded Sutcliffe & Son to fulfill his thirty years of producing his own line of Scotch. He partnered with Willie Phillips — managing director of The Macallan for 23 years — to create The Exceptional brand. Based in America, they use their exceptional connections to acquire exceptional barrels of spirits and finish them in exceptional Sherry casks to make their - The Exceptional Whiskies. And they all are… exceptional, that is.

Do you think that you know your Single Malt Whiskies? Here’s a list for you: Glefarclas, Ben Nevis, Alt-á-Bhainne, Auchroisk, Clenallachie, Westport, Speyside, and a 30 YO Macallan. It reads like a who’s who of Single Malt loveliness. Picking a favorite is like choosing between your bucket list travel destinations… it’s really a no-lose scenario. But with The Exceptional Malt you don’t have to choose. All eight of these lovelies have been blended, married, and finished in first-fill Oloroso Sherry casks. It’s like a dream dram come true.
