The Whiskey Lab Whispering Waters North British 35 year 700ml

The Whisky Lab Whispering Waters - North British 35 Year is a single-cask Scotch whisky from independent bottler The Whisky Lab, sourced from North British, a Lowland grain whisky distillery in Edinburgh that supplies malt for blends far more often than it's bottled as a single grain. Thirty-five years in cask is an exceptional age for any whisky, and grain whisky in particular tends to mature into something smoother and more subtly sweet than a single malt would at the same age, since it starts from a lighter base spirit. Expect soft vanilla, toffee, and gentle oak rather than the punch of a heavily peated or sherried malt. It's a rare opportunity for Scotch drinkers to taste grain whisky's long-aged potential on its own rather than buried in a blend.

How to drink The Whisky Lab Whispering Waters North British 35 Year

Pour it neat in a small glass and take your time — 35-year grain whisky is delicate rather than powerful, and ice or a mixer will erase what decades in cask built. Let it sit for a few minutes to open before your first sip.
