North British 15 Years Old The Octave

ABV: 54.8% 70 cL

This single grain whisky was distilled on 21st of January 2011 at the North British Distillery, Scotland's oldest and largest grain distillery, in Edinburgh. It was matured for 15 years, including a finishing period in a single octave cask that had previously held Moscatel wine. The result is an elegant and vibrant whisky, opening with bright lemon zest and delicate mineral notes, followed by hints of rich brandy cream and fresh kiwi fruit. 

Bottled at natural cask strength, without chill-filtration or artificial coluring by Duncan Taylor.

North British single grain whisky offers a lighter, smoother alternative to single malts, showcasing the elegant side of grain distillation. Made primarily from maize (corn) and distilled in continuous column stills, it produces a clean, sweet spirit that develops rich complexity with age. Matured in ex-bourbon or refill casks, North British single grain whiskies often display notes of vanilla, toffee, honey, coconut, and gentle spice, with a silky texture and subtle oak influence. While most of its output goes into blended Scotch, independent bottlers occasionally release aged single grain expressions — some over 30 or 40 years old — prized for their smoothness, delicate sweetness, and exceptional value compared to similarly aged single malts.
