Halewood Wines & Spirits is excited to announce the launch in global travel retail of Crabbie Single Malt Scotch Whisky, a brand which is both steeped in history and celebrated for its innovative spirit.<\/p>\n


\nEstablished in 1801, John Crabbie & Co. of Leith, Edinburgh earned a reputation as a pioneer in the Scotch whisky industry, blending, distilling, storing and exporting whisky all over the world until the early 20th century.<\/p>\n

In 2017, under a dynamic new management team, Crabbie re-emerged and launched a range of limited edition single malts whisky from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland which were selected to represent the best of Scotch whisky and the essence of Crabbie.<\/p>\n

The current Crabbie range includes the lightly peated 12-year old from the Scottish Islands and the Crabbie 8 y\/o, 25 y\/o and 40 y\/o Highland Single Malts from Speyside.<\/p>\n

In May 2018 John Crabbie & Co opened its own distillery, the first new single malt distillery in Edinburgh for 100 years, at the Chain Pier. A new larger home is under construction nearby in Leith and production will start later this year.<\/p>\n

Noting that the strongest driver of growth in the Scotch whisky market is non-aged malts, John Crabbie & Co is launching this month Crabbie\u2019s Yardhead, named after the original site of Crabbie\u2019s distillery and warehousing facility in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

New Crabbie\u2019s Yardhead and the Crabbie 12-year old Single Malt Island Whisky will be the backbone of the Crabbie offer in global duty free & travel retail.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Delicate and mellow in flavour, Crabbie\u2019s Yardhead (ABV 40%) is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky aged in ex-bourbon casks which is designed to be enjoyed in long drinks and the latest whisky cocktails. Yardhead will be launched exclusively in travel retail in one litre bottles at a recommended price around 35 euros.<\/p>\n

Crabbie\u2019s 12-year old Single Malt Island Whisky is a lightly peated spirit which has been matured in refilled sherry casks and bottled at 43%. It will retail in duty free & travel retail at around 38 euros per 70cl bottle.<\/p>\n

Simon Roffe, Managing Director Global Travel Retail, Halewood, which has owned Crabbie since 2007, explained: \u201cCrabbie\u2019s Yardhead breaks the mould for single malts. It is unpretentious and laid back, a profile which is designed to appeal to the next generation of consumers and to those who may enjoy brown spirits already but have not yet found their way to whisky.”<\/p>\n
