Spirit of Scotland

Gawith Hoggarth Spirit of Scotland Loose Pipe Tobacco is a rich American-style aromatic combining sweet Virginia, mellow Burley and double-fermented Black Cavendish with a distinctive whisky flavouring. Formerly associated with the name American Whiskey, Spirit of Scotland brings together traditional Kendal tobacco craftsmanship with warm whisky, vanilla and caramel notes.

The foundation of Gawith Hoggarth Spirit of Scotland is its combination of Virginia, Burley and Black Cavendish tobaccos. Virginia contributes natural sweetness and brighter tobacco notes, while Burley provides additional body and a subtly nutty character. A generous proportion of double-fermented Black Cavendish creates a softer, darker and sweeter base for the blend's aromatic flavouring.

What defines Spirit of Scotland is its whisky topping. The warm character of whisky is accompanied by lighter vanilla and caramel notes, creating a mellow aromatic profile that complements the sweetness of the Cavendish and Virginia tobaccos.

A Whisky Aromatic from Gawith Hoggarth

Gawith Hoggarth Spirit of Scotland Pipe Tobacco is distinguished by the combination of a mellow Black Cavendish-based mixture with a warm and characterful whisky topping. Double-fermented Black Cavendish provides much of the blend's dark sweetness, while Virginia and Burley add natural tobacco character and balance.

The whisky flavouring forms the heart of the aromatic profile, accompanied by subtle vanilla and caramel notes. Together these flavours create a warm sweetness while allowing the Virginia, Burley and Cavendish tobaccos beneath to retain their individual character.

Presented as loose ready-rubbed pipe tobacco, Spirit of Scotland requires little preparation and displays the contrasting lighter and darker strands of its Virginia, Burley and Black Cavendish components.

Produced in Kendal by one of Britain's historic tobacco manufacturers, Gawith Hoggarth Spirit of Scotland is a distinctive whisky-flavoured aromatic pipe tobacco. Its combination of Virginia, Burley, Black Cavendish and whisky flavouring gives Spirit of Scotland a clear identity within the Gawith Hoggarth American-style aromatic range.
