You might recognise the name James Eadie and Trade Mark "X" if you're a whisky history buff (or time traveller). Eadie began producing this expression all the way back in 1854, and trademarked the cross logo in 1877 - just a year after the Trade Mark Registration Act became a thing! Trade Mark "X" was produced until the late 1940s, then disappeared. However, the brand has been relaunched by Eadie's great-great-grandson, with a recipe that features 14 of the 16 whiskies that appeared in the original Trade Mark "X", including a couple of closed distilleries!
Raisins drizzled with spiced rum and Sherry, a hint of grassy peat, oily walnut.
Mexican chocolate, ripe red berries, brown sugar, another waft of soft peat smoke.
Juicy apricot and pear notes last on the finish.

One of the best blends i have tasted
V. Interesting. Great story behind it as well.
excellent smooth peaty deal and well worth the price.
A superbly well balanced whisky.
A great story of the reincarnation of a heritage brand. I’d highly recommend Trade Mark X to anyone looking for a decent blend at a reasonable price point. X marks the spot!
