Home Food Restaurant Reviews Recipes Drink Distilleries Whisky Gin Craft Beer Locations Scran Podcast Six Scotch whisky distilleries have been working on a new whisky collection, made using age-old distillation techniques. Six of Scotland’s independent distilleries have partnered with James Eadie to create an innovative whisky collection, bringing nearly-forgotten 1920s distillation techniques back to life. Project 1927 is the first collaboration of its kind, uniting independent distilleries across Scotland to revive century-old production methods.
Inspired by a historic early 20th-century guide to Scotch whisky production, this September marks the first time the public can experience these historic spirits, as each distillery’s unique new make spirit is released in a special collection, marking the beginning of their journey to becoming whisky. The Distillation of Whisky, 1927-1931, one of the few available practical first-hand resources dating from Scotch whisky’s early history, was republished by James Eadie Ltd in 2023 in collaboration with the British Library, and illuminates lost whisky-making techniques from the interwar years. Crafted at Ardnamurchan, Dornoch, Holyrood, InchDairnie, Lochlea, and ‘An Unnamed Farm Distillery in the Heart of the Kingdom of Fife’, with assistance from whisky expert Dave Broom and Alan Winchester , former master distiller of The Glenlivet, the inventive new make spirits were produced adhering to techniques derived from The Distil.
