North Port (silent) Very Rare Private Cellar Whisky 22 Year Old · 1982 Vintage
In stock
A rare single malt from the now-closed North Port Distillery in Brechin, this Very Rare Private Cellar release was distilled in 1982 and bottled in 2004 at 43% ABV. North Port operated intermittently through the 20th century before closing in the early 1980s, with the site later demolished, making surviving releases increasingly scarce.
Matured in oak, it reflects the distillery’s lighter Highland style, with a reputation for elegance rather than weight. Long ageing brings a refined character shaped by gentle fruit, soft sweetness and well-integrated wood, offering a composed expression from one of Scotland’s lost distilleries.

Nose
Delicate orchard fruits, pears and apples, join a subtle honeyed sweetness, vanilla and toasted oak. A hint of citrus zest and gentle spice lifts the aroma, while refined wood notes carry a quiet, elegant maturity.
Palate
Silky, refined and lightly fruity, with pear and apple notes and a touch of honey. Soft sweetness sits inside perfectly integrated oak, giving a light, creamy mouthfeel that glides to a long, elegant finish with subtle spice.
Finish
Long, refined and softly persistent, the finish unfolds with gentle orchard fruit and vanilla from well-integrated oak. A delicate sweetness lingers, lightly spiced, with a touch of almond and a whisper of tobacco, fading to a clean, elegant echo of the Highland style.
