As a Scotsman who grew up dreaming of America, this whiskey is the perfect expression of my own life path and of my love for the true ‘American spirit’
Graham McTavish, President, McTavish Spirits
The Warchief, a special 7 year bottled-in-bond is the first, limited release in the McTavish Spirits portfolio. The Warchief was meticulously hand selected by Graham to exude excellence in bourbon craftsmanship and taste. Picked to uniquely highlight the American tradition of bourbon history It was picked to honor our past and history while paying homage to the Scottish immigrants that came before to lay the foundation of the American Whiskey making culture.
The Bottled-In-Bond Act of 1897 truly shaped the future of American bourbon history. Being able to bring one of the first “celebrity” brands ever to hit market under with the Bottled-In-Bond designation is truly exciting. It is a true testament to Graham’s dedication to creating a high-quality product that pays homage to the rich history of our national spirit.
Paul Novielli, CEO, McTavish Spirits
McTavish Spirits is dedicated to bringing the best spirits it can to the market. We want to reshape what it means to be a “celebrity” brand.
Graham encompasses both the heritage of Scotland and the quintessential American dream through carving his own path in Hollywood. Combined with Graham’s incredible passion for whiskey, bringing a product to market that harmoniously combines and honors both of those aspects only makes sense, and that’s where this idea was born. The War Chief is a premium, complex and nuanced bourbon that will appease both the casual and seasoned whiskey drinker alike.
