Tasting Notes

Nose

Caramel and vanilla extract mix with julip, heather honey and delicious sweet oak, with more time it evolves slowly bringing fresh mint, dried hay, custard and the zest of ripe manarin.

Palate

The palate is a toffee lovers paradise, with delicious chewy notes backed by cream and dark fudge, further black fruitier charaters appear:apple, pear and peach, followed by toasted pine nuts and homemade butter shortbread. Delicious!

Finish

Amazingly clean and fresh for it's age, a true testament to the distillery. If you want something that offers all the complexity of an older dram but still retaining the freshness of youth, then this is it.

North British
(North BRI-tish) North British was founded in Edinburgh in 1885 by a group of independent blenders including Andrew Usher, William Sanderson and John M. Crabbie, with production beginning in 1887. The distillery was created to break the grain whisky monopoly held by DCL, which gives it a particularly important place in Scotch whisky history.
