- Description
- North British's 30-year-old grain from April 1988 represents the Lowland grain distillery at an age where refinement overtakes its youthful character, delivering soft caramel, honey, and a smooth, approachable texture. The extended maturation in refill wood has allowed the grain spirit's natural sweetness to develop without oak dominance. A solid expression for those seeking an affordable entry into well-aged single grain Scotch.
