Description
Distilled in 1988 at North British, this Lowland grain spent 32 years primarily in bourbon casks before finishing four years in American rye wood, adding complexity and spice. The bourbon influence provides vanilla and caramel notes, while the rye finishing contributes an additional layer of grain-forward character and dried fruit. Murray McDavid bottled 405 bottles for their Mission Gold series. Best enjoyed by those seeking a well-balanced grain whisky with layered cask influence.
