- Description
- Carsebridge's 29-year-old grain from 1981 matured in a first-fill hogshead of bourbon cask influence, delivering the vanilla, oak, and caramel typical of ex-bourbon aging applied to grain whisky's naturally sweet profile. Bottled at natural cask strength, this single cask release retains the full character of its maturation without dilution or chill-filtration. A focused example of how Lowland grain evolves across three decades in quality wood.
