Special features: The North British 2011/2026 is a 15-year-old single grain whisky from Scotland, specifically from the Lowlands region. This bottling was presented by Duncan Taylor under the 50th Anniversary Kirsch Import Edition. The whisky matured for 15 years and received a finish in an Oloroso octave cask, which led to intense wood contact. With an alcohol strength of 55.3%, it produces pronounced aromas and is bottled at cask strength.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose reveals sweet grain notes, vanilla, and light caramel tones, complemented by a fine spiciness from the cask. Honey notes are also perceptible.
• Palate: On the palate, the whisky is full-bodied and structured, with toffee, honey, lightly roasted nuts, and a hint of exotic wood notes.
• Finish: The finish is medium to long, pleasantly dry, and characterized by a warm, finely spiced wood note.
