- Description
- Carsebridge, a closed Lowland grain distillery, yields this exceptional 43-year-old single grain distilled in 1973 and bottled in 2016 by Hunter Laing. Four decades of maturation transforms grain whisky into a complex, refined spirit with layers of vanilla, orchard fruit, and subtle oak influence. The texture is silky and the finish remarkably long for a grain expression, offering sophistication rarely found in the category. A rare collectible from a defunct distillery, limited to 345 bottles, for those valuing whisky history and aged grain complexity.
