You can taste this quality and you can see it in the golden glow of the liquid. We call it ‘The light of Scotland.’

The John Barr blend was created for the UK market in the 1970s to imitate the recently withdrawn Johnnie Walker Red Label [see below]. So desperate was its owner, DCL, to recover the lost sales from one of its best-selling brands that the original John Barr bottle even mimicked the square-shape made so famous by its predecessor. Unfortunately, it was not a popular dram and was not highly regarded. Despite a change of ownership, John Barr continues to reflect the brand’s early imitation of Johnnie Walker. Expressions now available include John Barr Finest (red label) – a standard blend – and John Barr Reserve (black label), a smoky blend that contains 40 constituent whiskies including Speyside and Highland malts up to 15 years old.
Dunville's Three Crowns was an Irish whiskey produced by Dunville in Belfast years and years ago, though sadly the Dunville's brand was lost to the ravages of time in the 1930s. Fast-forward to 2016, and the Echlinville distillery (Northern Ireland's first licensed distillery in over 125 years) have revitalised the Dunville name and relaunched Dunville's Three Crowns! Huzzah!
