- Description
- North British's 25-year-old 1991 single grain, bottled by Bartels Whisky at 49.2% ABV from one cask, represents the Lowlands grain distillery at its most mature. Quarter-century in wood has transformed grain spirit into something with genuine complexity: expect honeyed sweetness, orchard fruits, and subtle oak influence balanced by the distillery's characteristic lightness. A rare single grain bottling. For those exploring aged grain whisky's overlooked potential.
