North of Scotland 46 TBWC Bottling Note
It's the first batch of North of Scotland single grain Scotch whisky to be bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company, and it's particularly well-aged indeed - 46 years old! However, those Boutique-y folks might need to take another look at a map of Scotland for the next batch. The one on this batch is a bit... Incorrect. To be fair, the North of Scotland distillery is only just outside Glasgow, so it makes things a bit confusing, mind.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose: Among supple woody tannins and ancient oak furniture, there’s soft toffee pennies, buttered bloomer bread and vanilla buttercream. Hints of tart raspberry and roasted banana ice cream develop.
Palate: In a slightly leathery and lightly spiced (it’s more winter spice than oak tannins now) palate there’s lemon sponge cake, crystallised fruits and faintly sharp green apple. Damp malt, a little heather and white stone fruit emerge after time.
Finish: Dried grass and some minerality linger in a delicate and medium-length finish.
Overall: A stellar tipple. There’s so much to enjoy here.
