Edinburgh-based Fusion Whisky Limited launched The Kincardine brand, a new Scotch and Indian whisky hybrid, made with whisky sourced from Scotland’s Glen Elgin and Macallan distilleries and India’s Amrut Distillery, based in Bangalore.
Kincardine honors Victor Bruce, the 9th Earl of Elgin and 13th Earl of Kincardine, who was Viceroy and Governor General of India from 1894 to 1899, who helped modernize India’s railways and link the cities of Bombay, Calcutta, Delhi, Karachi and Madras by rail.
Only 800 bottles of the Scotch and Indian hybrid will be released, which was blended by Bruce’s great-grandson Alex Bruce, master blender and managing director of Adelphi distillery in Fife, Scotland, reports Scotchwhisky.com.
