- Description
- This 1971 single grain from the now-closed North of Scotland Distillery represents half a century of maturation in a single hogshead—a rare window into pre-1980s Scottish grain whisky. At 42.2% ABV, the extended cask time has built deep woody notes balanced against subtle cereal sweetness and orchard fruit. Only 392 bottles exist, making this a historical collector's piece.
