The single malt whiskies bottled by Alexander Murray need little introduction to our Scotch connoisseurs here at Mission. Just about every time we feature a new AM release it sells out as fast as it came in, and those of you who shop at Costco already know the amazing value of their Kirkland single malt releases.

Hence, when Alexander Murray reached out to us recently about the remaining inventory for a bespoke private label 12 year old, our ears perked right up. Here’s the scoop:

An American retailer commissioned the Scotston 12 year earlier this year, but were not able to deplete the inventory. There were still 600 bottles remaining in the Alexander Murray warehouse that needed a home, so we worked out a price for that inventory. Whereas that retailer was selling the Scotston 12 year for $40 a bottle, we’re offering it today for just $25.99.

What are the specs, you ask?

12 year old single malt whisky from an undisclosed Highland distillery. Fortunately, we know which distillery it came from and we’re thrilled as to its origins. Per our contract, we cannot reveal that name, but we can tell you two things: the distillery name starts with a “B” and it does have its own full-time brand on the market (which we carry at Mission). Compared to the cost of that distillery bottling, you’re saving $40 per bottle.

Named after the birthplace of Alexander Murray, the Scotston 12 year is the best deal on any single malt whisky we’ve both seen and tasted in 2024. It’s rich and inviting on the palate with rounded honey notes, creamy barley, a hint of citrus, and loads of vanilla on the finish. You could buy a case of this for holiday gifts and the recipients would believe you spent a lot more than $25.99. Trust us.

We’ve got 600 bottles and when it’s gone, that’s it. Do yourself a favor: order a bottle immediately and taste it ASAP. Once you realize how good of a deal this is, we can promise you’ll want multiples.
