Tasting Notes

Colour

Rich, deep amber with a warm copper-gold sheen and mahogany undertones.

Nose

Opulent sherried bouquet with dark dried fruits—figs and raisins—woven with toasted almonds and hazelnuts. A gentle spice drift (cinnamon, clove) rests atop polished oak, carried by the rich, multi-layered sweetness of Oloroso in an octave cask.

Palate

Velvety, oil-rich on the palate, it delivers concentrated dried-fruit notes—prune, fig, raisin—paired with toasted almond and walnut. Gentle spice—cinnamon, clove—drifts through a refined oak backbone. The Octave’s intensity yields depth and a long, elegant finish, where sherry warmth and roasted-nut richness linger.

Finish

Long, elegant finish with refined sweetness touched by Oloroso. Dried fruits linger—raisins, figs—alongside toasted almond and walnut notes, enlivened by a gentle spice. The octave cask’s intensity delivers a smooth, robust tail that softly fades with warm, lingering nuttiness.

Girvan
(GIR-van) Girvan was built by William Grant & Sons in 1963 on the Ayrshire coast, reportedly in just nine months, and opened as the largest grain distillery in the world at the time. It was created to secure a reliable supply of grain whisky for the company’s blends, and it remains one of the most important sites in the William Grant portfolio. Although Girvan is less visible than malt distilleries with large official ranges, its role in Scotch whisky has been significant for decades.
