Special Features:

Trade Mark X revives a Scottish blend from the 19th century. Its recreation drew on James Eadie's surviving purchase ledgers and a tasting of a bottle from the 1940s by a panel of experts. Master Blender Norman Mathison used these findings to develop today's composition. It contains only whiskies from distilleries that James Eadie himself once bought from, including some that have since closed.

The malt and grain whiskies matured in either American oak casks or sherry casks. This cask selection reflects Eadie's historical specifications. Fruity and chocolate notes combine with gentle peat smoke. The blend is bottled at 45.6%, without chill filtration or added colouring; the bottle contains 0.7 litres and comes in gift packaging.

Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: The nose initially offers icing sugar, raisins and fresh hay. Over time, dark chocolate with chilli, plums and marzipan emerge. Light peat notes and a touch of salt complete the aromas.
  • Palate: On the palate, mint chocolate, syrup and plums combine with the flavour of roasted coffee beans. Gentle peat smoke stays in the background.
  • Finish: The long finish is syrupy and lightly spicy. It gradually softens, leaving delicate stone-fruit notes.

Distillery/Bottler:

James Eadie came from the Gleneagles area of Scotland and founded a brewery in Burton-on-Trent in 1854. Alongside beer, the family offered its own Scotch blend, using a recipe he had inherited from his father. The whisky later became available in more than 300 Eadie pubs. On 16 May 1877, Eadie registered the X as a trademark.

The brand's revival was initiated by Rupert Patrick, a great-great-grandson of James Eadie. Patrick gained many years of experience at Macleod Distillers, Beam Suntory and Diageo. Today, the company operates as an independent whisky bottler and, alongside Trade Mark X, specialises in single-cask bottlings, small batches of casks and bottlings with additional finishing maturation, using Scottish single malt and single grain whiskies.
