Description
This 40-year-old Girvan grain was distilled in 1985—the same year Master of Malt was founded—and aged entirely in a refill sherry butt to develop deep, savoury maturity. The sherry cask influence created a generous profile of chewy toffee, candied nuts, and rich oak spice that define how sherried grain whisky matures. The texture is full and satisfying, with layers that reveal themselves across the palate. A significant vintage for those seeking aged grain whisky with sherry depth and historical resonance.
