Rest & Be Thankful - Long Pond LSO - Single Cask 1998 - 59.60%
Rest & Be Thankful is an exceptional independent bottling range owned by the renowned Fox Fitzgerald Whisky Trading Company, based in Hereford, England. This prestigious brand was created in 2012 by passionate experts Eamonn Jones and Aidan Smith. The unique name "Rest & Be Thankful" originates from an inscription carved on a stone by soldiers who built a military road in 1753 on the wild and picturesque west coast of Scotland. The Glen Croe road, famous for its length and steep slope, traditionally encouraged travelers to rest at the summit to "rest and be thankful" for having reached this high point. With many years of experience, Eamonn Jones and Aidan Smith have successfully managed global markets for some of the most respected players in the whisky industry, such as Ian Macleod Distillers (owners of prestigious brands Glengoyne, Tamdhu, Rosebank) and Whyte and Mackay (with Dalmore, Jura, Fettercairn). This rich experience has allowed them to develop an exclusive network of strong partnerships with industry giants, iconic distilleries, influential brokers, and private collectors to ensure privileged access to exceptional casks.
