Stratheden is the second bottling of the Lost Distillery Company. The distillery, founded in 1829, was closed by the consequences of Prohibition in 1926. Today, there are still parts of the original buildings with references to the glorious past.
The label of this bottling has the color of the door to the old warehouse of the distillery.
At the end of their existence, the distillery was also known as Auchtermuchty. It belonged to the Bonthrone family, who were known as brewers and maltsters in the area - back to the year 1600.
The founder of the distillery was Alexander Bonthrone who allegedly burned whiskey until his death in 1890. At the age of 92, he became Scotland's oldest master distiller.
The whiskey was said to be "one of the best".
One of the peculiarities of the distillery was the unique water source, known as the Lovers Pool, which was passed through an aqueduct to the three watermills of Stratheden Distillery.
Peat from the Orkney Islands provided the powerful character of this whiskey.
