James Eadie’s Trade Mark X Whisky

You might recognise the name James Eadie and Trade Mark X if youre a whisky history buff (or time traveller). Eadie began producing this expression all the way back in 1854, and trademarked the cross logo in 1877 - just a year after the Trade Mark Registration Act became a thing! Trade Mark X was produced until the late 1940s, then disappeared. However, the brand has been relaunched by Eadies great-great-grandson, with a recipe that features 14 of the 16 whiskies that appeared in the original Trade Mark X, including a couple of closed distilleries! - Masters of Malt Nose: Raisins drizzled with spiced rum and Sherry, a hint of grassy peat, oily walnut. Palate: Mexican chocolate, ripe red berries, brown sugar, another waft of soft peat smoke. Finish: Juicy apricot and pear notes last on the finish.
