Aberargie Expressions - Laureate

Morrison and Mackay

£65

Laureate Edition showcases Laureate barley at its very best. Crafted with 100% Laureate barley and matured in a carefully balanced combination of 32% first-fill bourbon casks and 68% first-fill sherry casks, this expression highlights the distinctive character of the variety. Bright and expressive, it reveals notes of candied orange peel and dried fruits, complemented by crisp orchard fruits and a lingering honeyed finish. Bottled at 48.2% ABV, this is the strength at which we believe the whisky expresses its character with exceptional balance, depth and complexity. All orders are shipped dire

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as MORRISON SCOTCH WHISKY DISTILLERS LIMITED, number SC078618. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "Aberargie Distillery, it is located on our family's 300 acre farm just outside of Perth." Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
