Single Grain Scotch Whisky Distilled at North British Distillery 1991 vintage, aged 31 years 1st fill bourbon barrel 46.7% vol., 70cl Limited to 186 bottles Natural colour / Non chill filtered / Cask strength
Driving passed North British distillery is quite a sight. Classic industrial beauty in the heart of Edinburgh. North British has never released any official expressions which makes tracking down a single grain release a difficult undertaking, especially a fully matured 1st fill bourbon barrel of that age is quite rare. Nose: flowering common gorse, coconut grater, caramelized apples and a hint of bourbon. Pallet: thick and oily without any astringency or bitterness, riper fruits, long finish. The best grain we've ever come across. Unusual to find such oiliness in a single grain.
