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. North of Scotland Distillery started producing whisky in 1957 and closed in 1980. This is a rare chance to taste long-aged whisky from this lost distillery and experience a slice of history.

Producer's Tasting Notes
-
Nose
Pecan nuts and Custard Creams with aromas of nectarine and raspberry. Classic notes of sweet grain – toffee, golden syrup and baked apple with a touch of polish and dusty cinnamon giving a hint to the age. Richer notes of crème caramel, blood orange and glacé cherries build.
-
Palate
A thick creamy mouthfeel that becomes juicy after the second sip. Flavours of custard and dry spice – nutmeg and cinnamon – set you salivating. Notes of tarragon and oregano blend with blood orange and toasted hazelnuts.
-
Finish
Walnut and toasted almonds with vanilla fudge linger and slowly fade, leading you on to the next sip.
-
Comment
Well-aged spirit such as this is a rare and incredible treat. The classic sweet notes found in many grain whiskies have been tempered by the time in good wood.
