This quadruple-distilled, 184-proof whisky sounds like a drink for a true Scotsman. It is the kind of brutal spirit William Wallace and his pals threw back after a hard day of killing the English, and if it was good enough for them…

The distillery is engaging in the project in an attempt to replicate the Scottish drink described in a 1695 travel book, The Western Isles of Scotland, which contains what is considered to be the world’s oldest whisky-tasting note.The book also includes a warning that the drink takes effect immediately, so by imbibing any more than two spoonfuls, “it would presently stop his breath and endanger his life”.
