THE BLEND OF FREEDOM - SQUADRON 303 WHISKY Blend 44°
The Squadron 303 (303rd Polish Fighter Squadron, also known as the Kościuszko Squadron) was the most formidable squadron in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. This Polish fighter squadron was formed on 2 August 1940 and was operational by the end of the month. It scored its first victory on 30 August by shooting down a German bomber. It distinguished itself during the Battle of Britain (autumn 1940). It was the squadron that, despite its losses, shot down the greatest number of aircraft with 126 victories. The pilots flew Spitfires and took part in numerous raids over Europe during the war. In 1945, it converted to the P-51 Mustang. The 303 Squadron was disbanded in December 1946 at the end of the war.
This squadron was therefore made up of Polish pilots, who introduced vodka to their English comrades-in-arms. In return, the latter initiated the Polish pilots into the finer points of Irish, Scottish and English whiskies. Numerous accounts describe the growing interest of the Squadron 303 pilots in the fine whiskies they discovered in the course of their postings to Royal Air Force bases in England and Scotland.

In tribute to this history, the Whisky 303 Squadron - Blend of Freedom- was created by a team of enthusiasts. The "Blend of Freedom" is an unprecedented blend of a Scottish single malt, an English single malt, an Irish grain whisky, a French single malt and an American bourbon. Five components from five allied terroirs that fought for freedom.
This blend offers a complex and deeply indulgent tasting experience. The butterscotch of the Irish grain whisky subtly combines with the pastry-like richness of the English malt, propelled by the strength of the peated Scotch, then rounded out by the Kentucky bourbon and enriched by the floral notes of the French single malt. The experience concludes on a poetic note with the 303 drops of the historic and vintage Scottish single malt.
