Settle in at home on December 2nd with seven 15ml pours - the entire collection - of the latest Hart Brothers independently bottled whiskies, and be guided by none other than Chief Blender, Alistair Hart! Pair it all with a Yulli's Brews Dolly Aldrin Blackcurrent Berliner Weisse.
Alistair has earned the esteem of the industry, and many accolades in his 50+ years in whisky, of that there is no doubt. To put it into perspective, there was a time when 2002 Master Blender of the Year, Richard Paterson, was Alistair's assistant. Join us in the company of a Hart brother, and hear the story straight from the source.
Hart Brothers can trace their origins in the licensed trade back to the late 19th century when the family were licensed victualers and publicans in Paisley, the mill town on the outskirts of Glasgow. However, it was not until 1964 that brothers Iain & Donald Hart incorporated the company as Wine & Spirit Wholesalers and Scotch Whisky Blenders. Alistair joined the company in 1975 and it is his responsibility as chief blender to source vintage casks of single malt whisky which are not readily available through any specialist whisky shop or online whisky site.
With over 55 years of experience, Alistair began his career in the Scotch whisky industry in 1962 where he worked under the guidance of Major Hartley Whyte as a trainee whisky blender with Whyte & Mackay Limited. Alistair was then made a director of the company in his promotion to chief blender in 1972. In 1975 Alistair left Whyte & Mackay to join his brothers with the remit of promoting their company’s interests worldwide, Hart Brothers went online in the mid-90's and has been trading on the internet ever since!
