Why Seven Sons?
It’s inspired by the story of John O’Groats and Jan de Groot’s seven sons.
Jan’s seven sons had begun arguing about chieftainship and which of them should sit at the head of the table when they gathered together. To avoid a family rift, Jan built an octagonal house with eight doors - one for each of his seven sons and himself - and an eight sided table so that they were all equal.
We were inspired by this story and for us, whisky is about getting round the table with family and friends and having a great time.
We like to think that Jan and his seven sons would have enjoyed a whisky or two together and hope you enjoy your Seven Sons bottlings with family and friends!
