The incredible story of Shetland Reel begins with Stuart Nickerson, with over 30 years experience in the Scotch whisky business, wanting to build the most northern distillery in the world on the most northerly inhabited island of the UK. This idyllic setting is conducive to whisky making due to the dramatic weather conditions, long days and long nights. Perfect for ageing Scotch whisky. Each batch of blended malt is prepared from a small number of carefully selected casks of single malt Scotch whisky to create a unique expression that is truly evocative of the Shetland Islands. A great new Scotch whisky to enter the market with great pedigree behind the production. Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2019 – 93 Points
