North of Scotland (silent) Single Malts Of Scotland Single Grain Scotch Whisky 50 Year Old
In stock
Introducing the first and only official bottling from the North of Scotland Distillery Co, Alloa: a single-grain Scotch whisky aged in bourbon casks for more than 50 years. This cult Distillery fell silent in 1980 and there is a very small chance that this Whisky was produced using Barley and not grain. There is also a chance that these were the very last casks available.
The classic sweet notes found in many grain whiskies have been tempered by the time in good wood.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep golden amber with a warm, sunlit honey hue and subtle coppery glints.
Nose
An opulent bouquet of pecan and Custard Creams mingles with nectarine and raspberry, underpinned by sweet grain notes of toffee, golden syrup and baked apple. A whisper of polish and dusty cinnamon hints at age, while crème caramel, blood orange and glacé cherry build a rich, radiant complexity.
Palate
Thick, creamy mouthfeel that grows juicier after the second sip. Custard and dry spice—nutmeg and cinnamon—spur salivation, while tarragon and oregano mingle with blood orange and toasted hazelnuts.
Finish
Walnut and toasted almonds linger with vanilla fudge, a warm, silky finish that slowly fades and invites the next contemplative sip.
