Travel retail highlights

Alexander’s Way, Wee Witchie, Distiller’s Dram, Cowie’s Blue Seal. Evocative names not just semantically but also in terms of the Scotch whisky they refer to, a new collection from Speyside distiller Mortlach, ranging from 12 to 20yo.

Diageo Global Travel is launching the range in travel retail in Taiwan this month ahead of a wider international roll-out.

Alexander’s Way is described as the spiciest Mortlach expression to date. Diageo Global Travel said the idea was to “provide travellers with something they can’t buy anywhere else”, and the 14yo single malt Scotch whisky channel exclusive will do just that.

Diageo describes the collection as “the best-kept secret in Scotch”. Now the secret is well and truly out.
