North British 18 Year Old 2003 - Old Particular The Midnight Series (Douglas Laing)
North British
Tasting Notes
This 18-year-old single grain whisky from the esteemed North British distillery is a true gem. Matured in a refill butt since 2003, it boasts a delightfully crisp and inviting aroma reminiscent of freshly baked granola, rich maple syrup, and buttery popcorn, all complemented by notes of toasted oak. On the palate, it unfolds with a creamy, oily texture, unveiling flavors of yogurt-coated raisins, baked fruits, and subtle vegetal hints. As the finish gently builds, it reveals a harmonious blend of baking spices, a prickly grain character, indulgent butterscotch, and a warm, lingering oakiness. Bottled without chill-filtration or added coloring by Douglas Laing for their Old Particular The Midnight Series, this limited edition of 712 bottles is a true testament to the exceptional quality and character of a well-aged grain whisky.
