Yardhead is named after the original site where John Crabbie distilled and matured whisky in Edinburgh. Archive records show that Crabbie’s whisky was housed in Bond 73 at Yardheads, in Leith and this became the home of the original Crabbie’s distillery.
John Crabbie was a pioneer and a rule breaker, he was one of the first to blend whisky in the 1800s in order to consistency – something that was quite elusive in those days.
Continuing that pioneering nature, Yardhead is the first non-age declared single malt whisky from John Crabbie & Co. Distilled in the highlands and matured exclusively in ex-bourbon casks, Yardhead is ideal for mixing in both long drinks and whisky cocktails, it breaks the rules of how consumers enjoy single malt Scotch whisky.

克萊比 John Crabbie & Co
John Crabbie & Co 的歷史可以追溯到 1801 年,當時 Miller Crabbie 作為商人定居愛丁堡。不過,直到他的兒子約翰接管公司後,他們才收購了利斯的一家前釀酒廠,並擴大了威士忌業務。同樣,他們在東洛錫安擁有哈丁頓酒廠,該酒廠從 1852 年到 1860 年代中期生產穀物威士忌,當時它關閉了。他們還參與了水果甜酒,比如他們著名的 Crabbie's Green Ginger Wine。John Crabbie 也是 The North British Distilling Company 的創始人之一。
