According to the Spirits business
MacLean’s three sons, Ewan, Jamie and Lachlan, became the youngest and fastest trio to row the Atlantic last year as part of the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge in 2020. The MacLeans also became the first three brothers to row any ocean.
The new whiskies, MacLean’s Pillage and MacLean’s Spillage, celebrate the record-breaking transatlantic crossing the trio, known as Broar, made in 35 days.
Each bottle contains a small amount of whisky donated from 17 distilleries across the west coast of Scotland, including Ardbeg, Ardnamurchan, Arran, Bruichladdich, Bunnahabhain, Caol Ila, Girvan, Glen Scotia, Jura, Kilchoman, Lagavulin, Laphroaig, Oban, Springbank, Tobermory and Talisker. The whisky was collected during the team’s first training run across Scotland.
