- Description
- North British, Scotland's largest grain distillery since 1885, steps into the spotlight with this 13-year-old single grain released by Murray McDavid. Ten years in hogshead provided a sturdy foundation before three years in PX sherry and Tawny Port casks added layers of dried fruit, caramel, and subtle spice complexity. The texture is rich and mouth-coating with a long, warming finish. An excellent introduction to quality grain whisky for those typically drawn to malts.
