Description

Frank McHardy has had a career in the whisky industry for over 50 years. Although officially retired now, Frank oversees distillation for several small distilleries across the globe. Frank joined the Scottish whisky industry at Invergordon grain distillery in 1963 and went on to work at Tamanvulin and Bruichladdich distilleries. In 1977, he began working for Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, where he retired as Master Distiller in 2014. During this time, Frank also spent a decade as Master Distiller of Bushmills Distillery in Ireland. In 2014, Frank was the 19th person to be inaugurated into the Whisky Magazine Hall of Fame – one of the highest honours bestowed in the industry, recognising those who have dedicated their lives to helping the sector thrive. 

The Frank McHardy Series is exclusively selected by Frank himself for the Quaich Bar Signature Reserve Collection and bottled at cask strength.

This single cask was distilled at Tobermory Distillery in 2003 and matured for 19 years before being bottled in 2022 at 53.5% ABV.
