Girvan 31 Year Old 1990 (Master of Malt)
A great Girvan single grain Scotch here, distilled in 1990 and filled into ex-bourbon casks for a nice long slumber. Fast forward 30 years to 2022, and a little company called Master of Malt – purveying fine spirits to people with good taste – cracked open the casks and bottled it up as an independent release! An impressive liquid with a total outturn of 185 bottles. You're welcome.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Creamy, zesty notes of lemon pie and fresh kiwi, a touch of creosote, homemade rice pudding, just a hint of peppery green jalapeño.
Palate
So many layers! Thick toffee, followed by a touch of sweet char brings suggestions of burnt marshmallow. Maple and pecan plaits and honeyed flapjack welcome a punch of floral malt with toasted oak resting beneath.
Finish
Gloopy caramel with nutty layers of candied almond. Ginger and cinnamon shoots through, leaving a soft trail of heat alongside lingering melted s'mores.
