THE BOTTLER

Cadenhead’s is the oldest independent bottler still active. The company, founded in 1842 by William Cadenhead, is the result of the merger of a group of London rum merchants and one of spirits from Aberdeen.At that time, most barrels from different distilleries were bought and marketed by professional blenders. William Cadenhead was the first to choose to bottle single malt whiskies, anticipating by at least 100 years, which then became a common practice even today.Upon his death, the company passed to his nephew Robert Duthie, who developed the line for which the company became more famous, ranging from single malt scotch whisky and rum demerara, up to the famous historical brands of blended as The Heilanman and the deluxe brand Putachieside.

 

Famous the slogan "By test the best", posted on public transport, theaters, concerts etc.

 

After the premature death of Robert, run over by a tram in 1931, the company passed to his sisters, who, having no experience and ability to manage it, gave the command to Ann Oliver, already employed in the company for several years.Due to the Great Depression of 1931, the subsequent Second World War, and conservation choices proved to be unsuccessful over time, the company went into crisis and in the following years forced to liquidate.In 1972 the entire stock of barrels of which the administration of the time, completely ignored the value was auctioned and still today, represents the largest sale of wines and spirits ever occurred in the United KingdomThanks to them, the Duthie family was able to pay off their debts, also obtaining substantial revenues, and chose to sell the company to J. & A. Mitchell, owner of the Springbank distillery, effectively starting the modern era of the company. After about 130 years, the historic seat was moved to Campbeltown, where it is still today.

 

In 2012  Mark Watt was hired as General Manager, which dedicating himself to the enhancement of an incredible high quality stock of barrels, still makes Cadenhead, one of the most quoted and renowned independent bottlers in the world.
