Tasting Notes

Colour

Bright golden-amber with a warm honey glow and a subtle copper-bronze edge, like autumn sunlight on polished barley.

Nose

Salted butter and creamy vanilla unfold with a gentle, mellow char, a softly luxurious aroma that lingers invitingly.

Palate

Candied pineapple on the palate blends with sea spray and a gentle peat, delivering a buoyant, maritime sweetness with a subtle, smoke-laden lift.

Finish

Oily and enduring, with bright citrus peel and a lingering light smoke from Islay peated casks, leaving a coastal, waxy finish.

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.
