2, NAS whisky
You must have come across the word NAS either when buying whiskey, on forums or in groups. However, it is not a different type or brand! NAS is an acronym that simply means "No Age Statement".
Ageless simply means that there is no age listed on the bottle itself. By law, if you put an age on the bottle, then every drop in it must contain the same or older age.
Every Scotch NAS is legally bound to be matured for at least three years, which is the Scotch Whiskey Act, but may contain a 12-year or an 8-year. Without stating the age, the distiller has more flexibility in what he makes.
In our assortment you can find several well-known and very popular whiskeys, such as Glen Scotia Victoriana, Johnnie Walker Red Label, Talisker Skye, Arran Barrel Reserve, Pure Scot Signature NAS Blended Whisky or Bladnoch NAS Vinaya.

It was bottled with 54.2 % alcohol content (Cask Strength). It comes from the iconic port of Campbeltown, through which in the past whiskey flowed to the wider world.
