HTFW Cat. No: LP12677
Single Cask

A fresh yet complex Whisky patiently matured for twenty seven years in a single sherry butt.

Fresh green apple, pencil shavings and sugar almonds divulge this dram as a grain whisky, yet much more complex wood imparted aromas are abound. Demerara sugar and cinnamon coated almonds develops into more resinous maple syrup and caramel notes. The flavour is mouth-wateringly sweet. There is an abundance of apple, toffee and caramel flavours. Rich Normandy cider, caramel sauce bountifully applied to bramley apples and rich maple leaf candy all occur on the palate. Expect lingering sweet wood tannins to endure on the finish.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Radiant amber-gold with copper-bronze highlights and a deep mahogany depth.

Nose

Fresh green apple leads with crisp pencil-shavings and sugar almonds, a bright grain-driven aroma that belies deeper wood. Sherry-tinged oak lends warmth as Demerara sugar and cinnamon-coated almonds unfold into resinous maple syrup and caramel notes, a sweet, inviting perfume.

Palate

Opulent and mouth-watering, the palate opens with crisp green apple, pencil shavings and sugar almonds, evolving into resinous maple syrup and caramel. Demerara sugar and cinnamon-coated almonds heighten sweetness, while abundant apple, toffee and caramel notes spread across the tongue. Normandy cider and caramel-coated bramley apples mingle with maple candy, finishing with lingering sweet wood tannins.

Finish

Lingering sweet wood tannins endure, leaving a long finale of apple, toffee and caramel with a subtle Normandy cider 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.
