North British Single Grain Scotch Whisky, 33 years 1989
Lowlands, The Whisky Cellar, 750 ml
| Producer: | The Whisky Cellar |
| Origin: | United Kingdom / Lowlands |
Description
Keith Bonnington founder of The Wisky Cellar admits being partial to a good old Single Grain. He has explored a few distilleries, most notably North British in his home city of Edinburgh. This is the oldest North British he has bottled to date. A 33-year-old whisky that was matured in a refill Bourbon barrel. Age has brought aromas of white chocolate, biscotti, and coconut. The palate repeats the biscotti flavours and combines it with golden rum, allspice, zingy lime zest and crème caramel. On the finish, sweet spice, whisky-soaked bung cloth, salted butter and caramel coconut wafers.

Lowlands
Lowlands: Hochprozentig subtil
Gelten die Inseln und das Hochland mit ihren idyllischen Landschaften als Imageträger der Single Malt-Kultur, so sind die dicht besiedelten Lowlands das industrielle Herz Schottlands. Doch auch hier konnte der Niedergang der Whisky-Kultur in den letzten Jahren gestoppt werden. Rund ein halbes Dutzend Destillerien, die sich grösstenteils in den nördlichen Lowlands unweit der Metropolen Glasgow und Edinburgh befinden, sind heute wieder tätig und produzieren mehrheitlich leichte und sehr ausgewogene Brände.
