- Description
- This 1979 North British grain represents three decades of maturation in a single refill butt, independent bottled by Douglas Laing at natural cask strength. Thirty years of patient ageing in refill wood allows the grain spirit's subtle character—orchard fruit, light spice, and honeyed notes—to develop without being overshadowed by oak extraction. The texture is smooth and refined, with a dry, lingering finish shaped by long years in wood. A rare opportunity to experience aged grain whisky maturity, bottled from a single cask with no added colour or chill filtration.
