Duncan Taylor is an independent bottler based in Huntly Scotland. Founded in 1938, it is one of the few family owned bottlers in the industry today. They started as a cask broker and developed strong ties with distilleries all over Scotland. They bring their own cask to the distillery and have it filled with new make spirit. This resulted in a collection of cask whiskies distilleries- many of which are now closed- which are still maturing in the Duncan Taylor warehouse today.
