PASSPORT SCOTCH

Passport Scotch

From the heart of Scotland to the soul of São Paulo, Passport Scotch whisky was born to travel.

IT ALL STARTED IN THE 60S

The 1960s were one of the most creative and experimental periods in history.

It was a decade of innovation and individuality. Of hope and optimism. Anything was possible.

This thirst for change wasn’t limited to London, New York or San Francisco. It was here in Scotland too. There was something in the water.

AN EXPERIMENTAL SPIRIT

In a small town in the north of Scotland, a new distillery had cropped up. And it was designed with innovation in mind.

Glen Keith was used for blending whiskies, carrying out trials and conducting experiments. And in 1965, Passport Scotch whisky was an experiment gone right.

Passport was different from other Scotch blends. It challenged the conventions of Scotch whisky. And with its iconic square, green bottle, it broke the mould.

Passport embodied the values of the 60s. It was adventurous and unconventional. It was vibrant and colourful. It was a free spirit.

The distillery is located in the heart of Scotland in an area renowned for its whisky production.

And legendary master blenders, Alan Baillie and Jimmy Lang, embraced Scottish single malt and grain whiskies to create a unique blend of exceptional quality.

Since then, only the finest malt and grain whiskies from across Scotland have been matured and blended to create Passport.

A SCOTCH BORN TO TRAVEL

With its light, smooth blend, Passport was always destined to travel the world. And travel the world it did.

Like the samba in Brazil and the semba in Angola, Passport has never stopped moving.

With Passport, there are no borders or boundaries. It’s blended and matured in Scotland, aging in American barrels. Adored worldwide.

Every day is an adventure with Passport. Every Passport tells a story. It’s time to write your own.
