Syndicate 58/6 could very easily be the name of an action thriller with a star-studded cast, but in reality it's a fantastic 12 year old blended Scotch whisky with quite a story behind it.
All the way back in 1958, a rare blend of Scotch malt and grain whiskies was found in 10 casks in a warehouse owned by William Muir Bond 9 Limited. Having been distilled in 1954 and made to a recipe that dates back to the 1800s which was enjoyed by royalty, it's safe to say it was quite a good find indeed.
In 1966, when the whisky was 12 years old, a quantity was bottled for the Directors of William Muir Bond 9 Limited and a close group of friends. A total of 6 accountants and lawyers made it possible, forming Syndicate 58/6.
The Syndicate 58/6 whisky contains 18 single malts and 4 single grains which go through a 'Solera' system and are then finished for a year in hand selected Oloroso sherry butts. The signature of Richard Paterson, the master blender behind this whisky, adorns every bottle.

First tasted this super drink in the Orkney Islands at a Whisky tasting Evening (which I gatecrashed most luckily) It was being compared to Five other whiskies and easily stood out as head and shoulders above the rest. I have just ordered another bottle and I am really looking forward to Christmas this year with this special drink in my cupboard.
Was given a bottle of this great whiskey as a tip all I can say is this whiskey made a novice appreciate what a beautiful whiskey can taste like problem now is where can I purchase another thank you the scotch whiskey syndicate
This is one of those whiskies that needs to breath in the glass and improves as you work down the bottle and oxidation works it's magic. Sweet, sherried and mouth filling, there's a real orange marmalade thing going on which is simply delicious. Worth a try and a second bottle
This is a lovely whiskey highly recommend trying it , I have been a whiskey drinker for 25 years and I have to say this is now one of my favourite .
Excellent spirit - reallly superb whisky.
