The name Local Heros is inspired by the people who have helped shape Scotland’s whisky history - the individuals and communities who keep traditions alive. However, it also nods to a personal story from co-owners of the distillery site, Mark and Dale Winchester, who made a brief appearance in the hit 1983 film Local Hero, filmed in locations across Scotland.
Bottled at the distillery’s historic site in Speyside, the core trilogy comprises of ‘Sweet Peat’, ‘Big Smoke’ and ‘Sherry Bomb’, each with its own distinct flavour profile.
There’s not just one person behind these great malts; it’s a team, a family, a group of visionaries with the idea to create a fine product that celebrates Scottish distilleries and the whisky industry as a whole.
Sherry Bomb is a rich whisky from Oloroso and refill casks, with aromas of spice, honey, red apple and cinnamon over toasted malt.
46% ABV | 70cl
Aroma
Spicy and creamy, with honey, strawberry, red apple and cinnamon. Fruit-forward with toasted malt and a rich, complex depth.
Palate
Layers of dried fruit, sultanas and hazelnut, alongside stewed plums, figs and vanilla. A delicious maltiness is lifted by delicate berry notes.
Finish
Medium in length, fruity and smooth.
Big Smoke is the boldest expression in the first phase of the Local Heros collection, opening with cherry, vanilla, lemon and coastal notes.
46% ABV | 70cl
Aroma
Cherry, vanilla and lemon, with coastal notes, plum pudding and toffee, all underpinned by elegant smokiness.
Palate
Medicinal and estery, with banana, sea salt and a hint of tobacco carried on balanced smoke.
Finish
Long and smoky.
Sweet Peat provides a gentle introduction to smoky whisky, combining caramel, vanilla and plum pudding on the nose with honey, pear drops and banana on the palate.
46% ABV | 70cl
Aroma
Caramel, butterscotch, vanilla, plum pudding and toffee, balanced by an elegant smokiness.
Palate
Marshmallow, fudge, sweet honey, pear drops and ripe banana. Beautifully balanced with gentle smoke and a touch of tobacco.
Finish
Long, sweet and smoky.
