Prometheus 26 Years Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky was presented to Raymond Lee, Founder and Chairman of the Single Malt Club China (SMCC), by world renowned whisky author, leading whisky expert and holder of the extremely rare honour of “Master of the Quaich”, Charles MacLean. 

Liam Hughes, Co-Founder and CEO of the GDC* said “For us to have Prometheus presented to Mr. Lee is a great honour for our distillery and another sign that our young company is moving forward in a very positive direction. Having Charles presenting this fine and rare expression to the Single Malt Club in China speaks volumes about the quality of this Scotch whisky that we are using as a benchmark for our own original Glasgow whiskies that we will release in the years to come”.  

Scotland’s First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, recently opened SMCC’s new Whisky Experience Centre in Beijing. The facility is open to anyone wishing to learn more about single malt whisky, featuring educational material on the production process, items from distilleries and a display of single malts currently available in China. 

Prometheus 26 Year Old, named after the titan who gave man fire, is said to combine the “peaty fire of the islands with the rich complexity of the Highlands”. “Prometheus 26 Year Old is a great addition to our portfolio,” said Liam Hughes, CEO of GDC. “We have been very fortunate to acquire such a special whisky and Prometheus’ popularity continues to grow. We will release a very limited amount of our 27 Years Old expression in 2016 and will be holding back some of the liquid for further maturation.”
