Amber Glen Scotch Whisky
Origins of a Legend
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 CWSA 2016, 2017 & 2018 the most prestigious wine and spirits competition in China.

Drink Responsibly
Responsible Drinking Guidelines
Drink responsibly, avoid alcohol if pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding.
U.K. Government Guideline recommends that you do not regularly exceed 2 units daily (women & men).
Get to know the Alcohol by Volume (ABV) of your favourite drinks so you can get an idea of how much you are drinking. Units are a simple way of expressing the quantity of pure alcohol in a drink.
The number of units in a drink is based on the size of the drink, as well as its alcohol strength. For example, spirits that say “40% ABV” or “alcohol volume 40%” means 40% of the volume of that drink is pure alcohol. (One unit equals 10ml or 8g of pure alcohol.) So, a Single small shot of spirits * (25ml, ABV 40%) = 1 unit Knowing your units will help you stay in control of your drinking.
Drink Moderately
Try to have several drink-free days each week, spread your drinking over 3 or more days if you regularly drink as much as 14 units a week.
Health Risks
There is no ‘safe’ level of alcohol consumption when seeking to reduce the risks of alcohol-related cancers. The more alcohol consumed the greater the risk.
DO NOT DRINK & DRIVE OR OPERATE MACHINERY
Consumption of alcohol impairs your ability to drive any vehicle, vessel, aircraft or operate machinery.
WARNING: There is no safe way to calculate your BAC (blood alcohol concentration) as it relies on so many factors. The only safe and foolproof way is to use a reliable breathalyser or even better still, do not drink and drive!!
