They filled the spirit into a special cask in 2007. This cask had previously held bourbon, and it aged there for 17 years. Edinburgh Whisky Co. later bottled it.

Only 288 bottles exist, making this Single Malt Scotch Whisky both rare and desirable. The bottler describes a delicate aroma that includes golden syrup, dried fruits, and baked pastries.

The taste involves lemon curd, ginger, and honey. The finish is long and features spicy oak notes.

They chose this whisky carefully from Edinburgh Whisky’s warehouse stock. It was bottled from a single cask at its natural strength of 56.5% abv. The whisky was un-chill filtered, and its color comes naturally from the cask.

Edinburgh’s One O’Clock Gun is famous, having been fired daily at 1 p.m. since 1861. The whisky celebrates this tradition, offering a unique tribute to Edinburgh’s history.

Gleann Mór Spirits Company worked with HES to bring this cask strength whisky to stores. The One O’Clock Gun inspired this collaboration, reflecting the good working relationship between Edinburgh Whisky and Edinburgh Castle.

You can buy this limited-edition whisky for £185 per 700ml bottle, and it remains at 56.5% alcohol. Find it at Stòr, the Edinburgh Castle Whisky Shop, and also check the Finest Food Shop there.
