North British Infrequent Flyers Single Marsala Wine Cask #5742 Whisky 26 Year Old · 1995 Vintage
Out of stock
A North British single grain whisky from the Infrequent Flyers series, this 26 year old was distilled in 1995 and bottled in 2021 after maturation in a Marsala wine cask. Bottled at 52.1% ABV, the release was limited to 231 bottles.
Marsala wine cask maturation adds rich fortified wine sweetness, dried fruit and gentle spice to the distillery’s smooth, creamy grain character, complementing its naturally soft profile with deeper oak influence and layered complexity in a long-aged single cask release.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a touch of mahogany, tinged by Marsala’s rich, wine-kissed depth.
Nose
Opulent Marsala sweetness coats the nose, with raisin, fig and dried apricot layered over creamy North British grain. Hints of toffee and vanilla rise to meet soft spice—cinnamon, nutmeg, clove—while polished oak lends structure. A delicate almond note threads through, finishing in an inviting, long-lingering bouquet.
Palate
Silky, creamy grain sweetness forms the backbone, lifted by Marsala’s fortified-wine richness. Dried fig and raisin notes mingle with subtle spice and a touch of polished oak, yielding a soft yet confident palate. At 52.1%, the warmth reveals depth, finishing long, velvety, and refined with an elegant, dessert-like persistence.
Finish
A long, velvety finish that coats the palate with Marsala sweetness, dried fruit and a whisper of spice, tempered by deeper oak. The creamy grain persists, evolving into polished warmth and a refined, lingering finale.
