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.
Nearly a century and a half ago, the North British grain distillery was built near Edinburgh. Like all grain distilleries, it produces a few bottlings of its own. That's why we're thrilled with this 40-year-old grain whisky from Cadenhead! (51.9% ABV)
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%.
Bottler Signatory Vintage also knows its stuff with single grain whisky. They have released dozens of often well-appreciated bottlings of North British grain alone. Here's another one in the Cask Strength Collection, 31 years old and sherry-aged. (54.3%)
In their very affordable 100 Proof series, Signatory Vintage also releases single grain whiskies. Here, for example, is a 15-year-old North British, a Lowlands grain. The whisky matured in first- and second-fill Oloroso and bourbon casks. (57.1%)
