About R&BT:
The name Rest & Be Thankful comes from the an inscription on a stone made by soldiers who built a military road in 1753 in the West coast of Scotland; the road out of Glen Crow was so long and so steep that it was traditional for travellers to rest and the top and be thankful for having reached the highest point.
Nearly 300 Years later, we want the joy of relaxing from ones daily chores with a dram of a Rest & Be Thankful bottling, to have that same feeling of joy and satisfaction; one cannot always enjoy a dram at one of the most beautiful spots in Scotland but one can enjoy a taste of the unique beauty of Scotland anywhere in the world.
Rest & Be Thankful bottlings are rare and beautiful; fantastic single malt whiskies in its most purest form.
