- Description
- North British's 18-year-old grain whisky, distilled in March 2003 and matured in a single refill butt, was independently bottled by Douglas Laing in June 2021 as part of the Old Particular Midnight Series. Grain whisky from this era tends toward honeyed, slightly spiced character with crisp grain-forward notes. Bottled without colouring or chill-filtration at natural strength, it reflects the cask's influence without compromise. This appeals to grain whisky enthusiasts seeking unadorned character from Scotland's Lowlands.
