GreatDrams Girvan 30 Year Old. Image courtesy GreatDrams.This single grain Scotch whisky was distilled in December of 1989, and the nose has notes of candied orange slices, a hint of fresh berries, vanilla beans, and dried flowers. The taste is fruity with orange marmalade, fresh berries, subtle touches of ginger and allspice, a hint of vanilla, and a nice oakiness. The finish is very long and oak-forward balanced by lingering touches of fruits and spices. Excellent! (September, 2020)
