The Girvan Patent Still 25 Years Old. Image courtesy William Grant & Sons. Very few single grain Scotch whiskies ever make it to 25 years old, and this one has a smooth but still complex nose with notes of cooled-off apple pie, honey, vanilla, oak, dark chocolate, and a hint of orange peel. The taste is fruity and elegant with caramel apples, cinnamon, toffee, a hint of orange oils, vanilla, and oak notes that give it a nice balance and mouthfeel. The finish is dry and short with notes of honey and caramel apples. (February, 2015)
