North British 14 Year Old 2009 - Select Grain (Murray McDavid)
North British
Tasting Notes
North British's 14-year-old single grain Scotch whisky is a delectable treat for the senses. Aged from 2009 to 2023, it underwent a unique finishing process in a Koval rye whisky cask, adding layers of complexity to its alluring character. The nose tantalizes with notes of creamy vanilla, buttery pastry, and a rich oakiness reminiscent of a cozy fireplace. On the palate, a burst of juicy citrus and mandarin mingles harmoniously with hints of caramel and spicy rye, complemented by the warmth of oak. The finish lingers with an unctuous mouthfeel, revealing flavors of oily grains, fruity notes akin to a fruit salad, herbal honey, and a subtle peppery kick. With only 886 bottles released as part of Murray McDavid's Select Grain series, this whisky is a rare gem that whisky enthusiasts won't want to miss.
