North British 1988-2023 | 35 Year Old XOP Single Cask DL17848
Lowland Single Grain Scotch Whisky
Bottled by: Douglas Laing 70cl / 41.9%
A 35-year-old single cask of North British single grain whisky from the 1988 vintage, bottled in 2023 without colouring or chill filtration by Douglas Laing for their Extra Old Particular (XOP) series.
This 1988 North British 35-year-old came from cask DL17848, a refill barrel that yielded 157 bottles at its natural strength of 41.9%. Long-aged grain whisky like this with a naturally low cask strength should be packed with sumptuous flavours - we reckon this will be a belter.
This is the last bottle. The box has a slight nick in it at the top, not really noticeable. The box can not be replaced

Tasting Notes
Official Tasting Notes
Nose: Anticipate sugar and spice on the nose with Maple syrup, gentle oak and charred pineapple.
Palate: The moreish palate reveals a thick, buttery sweetness – canided apples, caramel popcorn and vanilla fudge.
Finish: The finish lingers with set honey and baking spice alongside juicy cereal.
