Description
Signatory Vintage North British 33 Years Old 1991 Cask Strength #262087 is a remarkable single grain Scotch whisky from the renowned North British Distillery in Edinburgh – one of the largest and oldest grain distilleries in Scotland. This exceptional bottling was distilled in 1991 and matured for an impressive 33 years in a refill oloroso sherry butt before being bottled in Signatory Vintage’s iconic Cask Strength Collection in 2024.
The maturation process in a refill Oloroso sherry cask gives the whisky a deep but balanced complexity without masking the delicate structure of the grain whisky. The combination of Langs maturation and subtle sherry cask influence provides elegant wood notes, fine sweetness and silky texture. With 55% alcohol by volume at natural cask strength, uncoloured and unchill-filtered, this whisky presents itself in its purest form – intense, complex and mature.
This rare bottling is aimed at experienced connoisseurs, collectors and friends of old grain whiskies who are looking for something special. The elegant Signatory tin box rounds off the luxurious appearance perfectly.
Tasting NoteColour: Copper with a golden-brown shimmer.
Nose: Fine sherry notes, caramel, toffee, dried apricots, vanilla and elegant oak notes.
Taste: Silky and full-bodied with flavours of honey, malt candy, dried fruit, almonds, vanilla pudding and subtle spice.
Finish: Long-lasting, creamy and pleasantly dry with notes of oak, brown sugar and a nutty aftertaste.
This 33-year-old single grain is best enjoyed neat at room temperature or with a few drops of water – this allows the complex, subtle notes to open up particularly well.
In culinary terms, it harmonises perfectly with shortbread, crème brûlée, fine white chocolate or mature soft cheese. As a meditative digestif or a stylish accompaniment to a fine cigar, this North British is also a real treat for connoisseurs.
