- Description
- North British's 1991 vintage spent 31 years in a single cask before Duncan Taylor released this cask-strength expression in 2022, offering the full maturity and concentration only decades of wood contact can achieve. Extended aging in refill wood develops deep honeyed sweetness, dried orchard fruit, and subtle oak spice while maintaining the clean grain spirit character that North British is known for. Only 120 bottles exist, suiting collectors willing to pay for rare, aged grain whisky in its purest form.
