- Description
- Girvan's 31-year-old single grain Scotch, distilled in 1990 and aged in ex-bourbon casks before independent bottling in 2022, represents grain whisky at its most refined. Three decades of maturation in refill wood allows subtle grain character to unfold—expect vanilla, light honey, and a touch of orchard fruit with restrained wood influence. The texture is silken and the finish measured, reflecting patient cask ageing. A whisky for grain enthusiasts and those seeking proof that grain malts develop sophistication comparable to their single malt counterparts.
