The Origins of
Amber Glen Scotch Whisky

Founded by Samuel Minionis CEO in 2013, The Amber Glen Scotch Whisky brand came into being when Sam, a property investment consultant at that time, was commissioned by a client to advise on acquiring a bonded Scotch whisky maturation warehouse. As Sam researched the project he discovered the incredible diversity and complexity of the many varieties, regions and ageing processes that make up Scotch Whisky and why a maturation warehouse also known as a dunnage warehouse is a very rare commodity indeed and a unique investment opportunity.

But alas the warehouse was acquired by a Scotch Whisky factor. However in understanding the uniqueness and the process that makes up this wondrous elixir of life known as uisge beatha (uishkay vhar) and as by serendipitous circumstances “chance favours the prepared mind” Sam spotted a gap in the export market and was given a once in a lifetime opportunity to create and establish a new and independent brand of Scotch Whisky, one that could find its own niche and appeal to a new wave of consumers in emerging markets around the world, as well as to new and younger age groups of consumers in the traditional export markets.

Along with his Chairman, Clan Chief Donald MacLaren, The MacLaren Of MacLaren and fellow Directors Nathan Lowry & Bhai Raja Thapa, Sam set about creating the legend and mythology of Amber Glen, a place that exists only in the mists of time, but that is embodied by the pure taste of outstanding provenance Scotch Whisky.

Amber Glen Blended Scotch Whisky is a Gold Medal Winner for Best Value at the most prestigious wine and spirits competition in China CWSA 2016, 2017 & 2018. Gold Medal Winner at the Catavinum World Wine & Spirits Competition, Spain 2017. Silver Medal Winner at The London Spirits Competition and at The Spirit Business Scotch Whisky Masters 2018. And we are very, very proud to be awarded the Double Gold Medal at the Women’s Wine & Spirits Awards 2018.

AMBER GLEN ROYAL STANDARD

The Amber Glen Fleur De Lys mark was chosen as our emblem to represent purity and premium quality of our product and to convey the brand’s heritage & provenance.

The ancient royal arms of Scotland displayed a red rampant lion within a frame on a golden yellow field, the tressure flory-counterflory (flowered border) has been a prominent part of the design of the Scottish royal arms and Royal Standard since James VI of Scotland, who ascended the English throne as King James I the first king of Great Britain on 24 March 1603, though technically England and Scotland remained separate kingdoms they were joined in personal union under King James I.

THE LEGEND OF THE AMBER GLEN

Nine hundred years ago, a group of Scottish and French knights returning from the Holy Land began a quest to re-discover the fabled elixir of life. The Romans before them had found what they called “aqua vitae”. But it was the ancient inhabitants of Scotland who had created, and kept, the secret of uisge beatha (uishkay vhar). That secret was passed down through the generations. The legend was that it could only be revealed to those worthy of knowing it.

It was in the Amber Glen that a small group of dedicated monks kept vigil over this, the real water of life: a perfect distillation of the wild barley and peaty spring water which until then was theirs only: to nurture and to savour. Finding, at last, the sacred spring at the head of the glen, the knights drank from the golden water. They knew then that they were close to ending their search. They made their way down the glen and, laying aside their armour and their swords, knelt before the guardians of the ancient spirit. As they drank in the blessing, two worlds, the inner and the outer, fused into one.

In remembrance of this quest to find the noble elixir of those brave knights who kept their faith in the existence of the divine water of life, our master blender has created a classic blended whisky from selected single malt casks and from the finest Scottish grain whisky distilleries to do honour to those knights. That is The Amber Glen Whisky, the ideal of a whisky as the water of life, Uisge Beatha: held until now only to those worthy of knowing it and now for you to discover.

Reflect on that as you take the Amber Glen in your hands. You too have ended your quest to find the real uisge beatha. You are one of the guardians now. You too must decide whether jealously to guard your discovery or to hand it on to those you trust.
