Catto’s Rare Old Scottish [1000ML]

Description

Looking for a blended Scotch whisky that delivers authentic Highland character without breaking the bank?

Catto’s Rare Old Scottish represents one of Scotland’s pioneering blended whiskies, crafted since 1861 by James Catto & Co. This heritage blend combines carefully selected Highland and Speyside malts with quality Lowland grain whisky, creating a light-bodied expression that showcases traditional Scottish blending expertise. Unlike heavier expressions such as Dewar’s 12 Years or Dimple Golden Selection, this whisky offers approachable sweetness perfect for Malaysian palates.

• Distillery: James Catto & Co. Ltd – established 1861 in Aberdeen
• Region: Highland/Speyside malts with Lowland grain – balanced regional character
• ABV: 40% – smooth, accessible strength for neat sipping or mixing
• Volume: 1000ml
• Maturation: Traditional oak casks with high malt content
• Tasting Notes: Sweet honey and vanilla on the nose, followed by gentle malt, orange peel, and warming spices on the palate, finishing with light fruit notes
• Best Served: Neat at room temperature, on the rocks, or with a splash of water

Our team at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store has found this blend particularly food-friendly compared to more assertive Scotch expressions. The gentle sweetness makes it surprisingly versatile for both newcomers to whisky and experienced drinkers seeking an everyday sipper.

Ideal for: Casual evening relaxation, introducing friends to Scotch whisky, or stocking your home bar. Pairs with: Malaysian comfort foods like char siu bao, mild curry dishes, or sweet desserts. Recommended for: Those who enjoy approachable whiskies like Dewar’s White Label but want something with more heritage character.
