2008 House of MacDuff The Golden Cask North British 14 Year Old Cask Strength Single Grain Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Probably as intense a grain whisky as we’ve ever tasted. Nippy and tongue-tingling, you can see why this attracted the attention of the bottlers. Behind all those busy, raucous spices, it is remarkably pure with deliciously defined flavours of vanilla oak and sponge cake, underscored by milk chocolate, light caramels and an oily finish. Precocious, and nothing that a little water won’t temper. It would also make a smashing base for your in-house blending experiments. 265 bottles from an x-Bourbon hogshead. 64.4% Alc./Vol.  Non chill filtered.
