- Description
- North British's single grain character from 2009 matured for 14 years before a finishing period in a Koval rye whisky cask added American oak and spice complexity. The grain distillery's clean, grassy foundation provides an excellent canvas for the wood influence—vanilla sweetness balanced by subtle rye spice and oak tannins. A well-constructed grain whisky for those curious about how finishing casks can elevate the category.
