- Description
- Carsebridge's grain whisky from March 1979 spent three decades maturing in a single cask, bottled at natural strength by Duncan Taylor in 2010 as one of just 69 bottles. Lowland grain aged this long develops a rare complexity, moving beyond typical cereal notes into deeper, more textured territory. The extended cask influence shapes both body and character, creating a whisky that rewards patient exploration. This is for collectors seeking the unusual—a glimpse into how Lowland grain evolves when given time.
