Description
North of Scotland's 42-year-old single grain was distilled in December 1971 and matured until May 2014, representing four decades of ageing in oak—a rarity for grain whisky. Extended maturation has yielded deep colour, concentrated cereal notes, and pronounced wood spice, with a silky texture that speaks to patient cask custody. This historic bottling suits whisky historians and collectors pursuing vintage grain expressions.
