North British 34 Year Old - Forgotten Gems
North British
Tasting Notes
This whisky from North British distillery, bottled by Forgotten Gems, is a true gem indeed. Aged for an impressive 34 years, it showcases the magic of time and careful maturation. The aroma is a robust and vibrant symphony of grains, bold oak, and warming spices, accompanied by notes of toffee, delicate financier cakes, orange peel, and fresh almonds. On the palate, it starts with a bold and spicy character, where tannic oak and nutmeg make way for creamier notes of crème caramel, butterscotch, and vanilla. The high ABV adds a touch of heat, with flaked chilli and a hint of leather, balanced by sweeter notes of syrupy sponge, flapjack, and apricot. This small batch of 27 bottles is a true testament to the art of whisky-making, offering a magnificent and unforgettable experience for those lucky enough to savor it.
