- Description
- North British's 36-year-old grain from 1987 is an exercise in patience: three and a half decades in refill bourbon cask have allowed the spirit to develop the subtle complexity grain whisky rarely achieves. Adelphi's 2023 release of just 208 bottles represents one of the longest-aged Lowland grains available.
