Tasting Notes

Colour

Rich amber with coppery glints and honey-gold highlights.

Nose

A lush, vinous bouquet of Muscatel sweetness—candied orange, apricot and sultana—drifts up, brightened by delicate floral notes, vanilla-cream, almond and a kiss of toasted oak.

Palate

Opulent and velvety on the palate, this North British glides with a honeyed Moscatel sweetness. Dried-fruit richness—sun-dried apricot, fig and raisin—meets orange marmalade, almond marzipan, and vanilla caramel. A whisper of spice and creamy toffee adds structure, leading to a long, warm finish with orange zest and a touch of oak.

Finish

Long, Muscat-tinged finish lingers with orange marmalade, apricot, and dried grape over vanilla and toasted oak. A gentle spice and almond-honey glow persists, fading to a warm, dessert-wine echo.

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.
