Expect oaky, sweet and lightly fruity character — oily, malt extract, yeasty, toasted. A well-balanced whisky that appeals to both newcomers and enthusiasts. A collector's expression at a premium price point.

Carsebridge's 40-year-old grain whisky, distilled in October 1976 and bottled at cask strength in February 2017, preserves the character of a now-closed Lowland distillery through Douglas Laing's independent bottling. Four decades in cask would have refined the grain whisky into something smooth yet characterful, with grain-forward sweetness balanced by oak maturity and subtle spice, at a concentrated alcohol level. At 148 bottles, this represents a genuine rarity from a distillery no longer producing. A historic dram for grain whisky enthusiasts and those seeking vanished Scottish distillery expressions.
