North of Scotland 1964 45YO

Country: Scotland

Region:

Type: Single Grain

Bottler: Scott's Selection

ABV: 42.4%

Score: 94 Points

1964 was a really good year at North of Scotland, as several casks of excellent single grain whisky were laid down that year and left to mature for decades. This came from a port pipe, and the nose is light, but rich and aromatic with hints of caramel and figs. The taste is rich and smooth with a hint of cinnamon and a light aromatic note on the top of the mouth with green apples and white grapes, and just a touch of caramel to round things out. The finish is lingering with a touch of caramel and cola.
