Ancient grain whisky. We know you love this as much as we do – every cask we bottle disappears quicker than we can say "North British Distillery, the source of Edinburgh's unforgettable aroma". It’s distilled in 1989, a year most teenagers today would associate with Taylor Swift, but for those of you who were teenagers in 1989, it's the year you had the fresh new sounds of De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising/The Stone Roses self-titled debut/Pixies’ Doolittle [delete as applicable] blasting out your boombox. After 35 years in a single refill hogshead, 180 bottles join our own Master of Malt Single Cask collection, without added colour or chill filtration.

Polished oak, chewy toffee, and burnt brown sugar lead the way, with creamy grain and butterscotch developing in time. A hint of granola joins, with flaked coconut and vanilla in tow.
A glorious balance of rich, creamy toffee sweetness and robust old oak, with juicy barley and syrupy porridge beneath. Baked apples, custard pastries, and cinder toffee join layers of rich, woody spice.
That old, leathery oaken spice lingers with sticky layers of caramel, chocolate, and crumbly shortbread, and a dusting of peppery warmth.
