The North British Distillery was founded in 1885 on the outskirts of Edinburgh by three independent whisky blenders and traders who wanted to create their own grain spirit. Over time, the distillery has grown into a major supplier of grain whisky for the Scottish blending industry. Only during the two world wars did production stop for a while. Like all grain distilleries, North British also has very few bottlings of its own. For this brand too it has to come from independent bottlers.
In general, single grain whisky only becomes interesting after several decades of maturation. So that's a good thing with this North British edition: the grain whisky matured for 32 years in a bourbon cask before being bottled by Brachadair at 43.1%.
One of the series from Signatory Vintage is the Single Grain Collection, a series with very attractively priced bottlings of single grain whisky, not complex, easy to drink. This is a grain from the North British Distillery, 13 years old and at 43%.
Not as complex as decades-old single-grain whisky, but this fresh, light, 14-year-old North British drinks smoothly; a perfect dram for an evening with friends. You can get this SV bottling for a surprisingly low price. (bottled at 46%)
For a single grain whisky, this North British is relatively young at 11 years old. However, the bourbon cask in which the grain matured was of such quality that this dram has a rich taste palette with notes like caramel, grass, coconut and fruit. (59.8%)
