Girvan 30 Year Old 1989 - Rare Cask Series (GreatDrams)
In 1989, the same year that Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure hit the big screen, the folks at Girvan set about distilling this single grain whisky. They then placed it in a travelling time capsule (also known as an ex-bourbon hogshead) and allowed it to travel at the speed of...well normal time actually – for a whole 30 years! After this time travelling escapade, the whisky was independently bottled up by the folks at GreatDrams for its Rare Cask Series, limited to a total of only 96 bottles.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Sweet creamy coconut and vanilla, wafts of tropical fruit, sweet honey and sticky toffee pudding.
Palate
Butter shortbread, ripe banana, granola filled with raisins and sultanas, butterscotch and some red berry notes begin to develop.
Finish
Spiced nuts, caramel, nutmeg, and lingering vanilla oak.
