Girvan Infrequent Flyers Single Port Cask #804141 Whisky 27 Year Old · 1997 Vintage
In stock
The Infrequent Flyers range is a series of independent single cask bottlings from the Alistair Walker Whisky Company, created to showcase distinctive and often unusual casks from distilleries across Scotland. Each release highlights the unique character of an individual cask, with selections often coming from distilleries or cask types that are rarely seen as single malt releases.
Bottled in small batches or as single casks, Infrequent Flyers whiskies are typically presented without chill filtration or added colouring, often at natural cask strength, allowing the whisky’s full character and personality to shine through. The name itself reflects the rarity of these releases - whiskies that appear only occasionally, offering enthusiasts the chance to experience something a little different from the ordinary.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, sun-kissed amber with a coppery gleam and a subtle ruby edge, a warm mahogany glow that invites a longer gaze.
Nose
Nutty and luxurious: toasted coconut and roasted peanuts perch atop rich marzipan, unfolding into the warm, confident scent of a mature single grain whisky. A whisper of wood and port sweetness lingers, hinting at rare cask character.
Palate
On the palate, molten Demerara sugar and coconut toast mingle with stewed apricots and raisins from the port cask, a touch of nutmeg warming the profile. Rich wood support lingers, guiding sweetness into a long, polished finish.
Finish
Port-driven finish with a rich fruit core and toasted spice. Stewed apricots and raisins linger, layered with coconut-touched Demerara sweetness as oak and nutmeg threads weave through the glass. A warm, velvety grain depth holds on long after the sip, tapering to a refined, lingering fade.
