What Jim Murray said in his book - Classic Blended Scotch

"Until 1993 Richard Joynson and his wife Lyndsay ran a salmon hatchery. Then they bought a shop in the quaint and beautiful little village of Inveraray, on the west coast of Scotland, whose skyline is dominated by the Inveraray Castle, and have since become among Scotland’s foremost whisky enthusiasts. They turned their shop into something approaching a sanctuary to whisky lovers, selling all they could find on the subject, beginning a whisky newsletter and even introducing their own blend in 1996. For small independent outlets to launch a single malt is nothing unusual. For them to launch a blend is something to be celebrated. While the Loch Fyne Whisky is sold in a few Argyll bars the vast majority is sold in the excellent Loch Fyne Whiskies shop. Fortunately for those unable to make it there, their business is also a mail order one.

ABOUT THE LOCH FYNE BLEND.
Blended by Ronnie Martin, producer of the Inverarity brand, this is a lot more impressive than you might expect from a single outlet producer. There are in excess of twenty malts used, very high for a low-case sales product, and three grains. The top dressing is supplied by some top rate 14-year-old Aultmore, although the usual ages of the whisky used is around the six-year mark."
