This exciting single cask bottling from the Cask Masters series by Brave New Spirits brings a characterful single grain Scotch whisky from the traditional North British Distillery to the glass. Distilled in 2011 and bottled after 13 years of maturation in cask #248817, this whisky is in its natural form: unchill-filtered, uncoloured and at a strong cask strength of 50.1% vol. – ideal for connoisseurs looking for authentic quality and rarity.
The North British Distillery, founded in Edinburgh in 1885, is one of the oldest active grain distilleries in Scotland and is known for its elegant, slightly sweet grain style. The maturation in a selected cask gives this whisky a pleasant depth and a surprisingly complex flavour profile, which shows how high-quality and exciting single grain whiskies can be.
