Pintail was first bottled in 1931 as Matthew Gloag & Son’s house brand of Dry Sherry and soon won international awards for its superior quality. It was first featured in Tatler magazine in 1935 – “You cannot be wrong in offering a glass of ‘Pintail’ to your guest for the little “11 o’clock” and before or after meals”.
The downturn in Sherry consumption in the latter half of the 20th century signalled the end for the brand, until... The Whisky Cellar acquired the rights in 2021, lining it up once again with its old ‘Brig O’ Perth’ stablemate.
Pintail Speyside Distillery 9 Years Old Vin Santos
53% abv
This single malt whisky was distilled at an unnamed distillery in the Speyside region of Scotland in 2014. It was finished for a year in two wine octaves from Italy, which previously held Vin Santo—a sweet dessert wine from Tuscany. Vin Santo is also known as “Holy Wine” due to the fermentation traditionally taking place around Easter.
