The Finer Details

How much can a distillery change its practices over time whilst retaining its identity? From the mashbill to the washbacks, the role of the stillman to the shape of the stills and the very material they were made of, every aspect of the way this whisky was produced has today been consigned to the history books. Carrying a heavier, more aromatic new make character than whisky produced at Girvan today, this rare release has matured majestically to create a full-bodied, mouth-filling whisky of remarkable complexity – a lost style, impossible to recreate again using modern methods.

Nose

Aromas of nostalgia are immediately apparent within this Single Grain, with a sense of camping stove burners and wax jackets. The oiliness is complimented by the presence of Muscovado sugar.

Palate

The palate carries this sugar sweetness, now developing into stewed rhubarb and gooseberries - a fresh and tart fruit coulis.
