NORTH BRITISH 28 ans 1991 S.V 46,2%
Single Grain Whisky, Scotland / The Lowlands, 70cl, Ref: 57841A
This North British, distilled in 1991, was aged in second-fill sherry butts and has an intense, spicy, aromatic profile. Combining single malts and single grains bottled at their natural alcohol percentage, the Cask Strength Collection is undoubtedly one of the most emblematic ranges from Signatory Vintage. Each whisky is bottled without any reduction, colouring or chill filtration, most often from a single cask. Signatory Vintage has a proactive approach to transparency and its labels include all the production details: distillery, region, distillation and bottling dates, type of cask used, and number of bottles produced. The collection offers a selection of quality products that will delight whisky lovers seeking whiskies with character.

The brand
The North British grain distillery was founded in 1885 by three important names in the world of blended scotch at the time: Andrew Usher, William Sanderson and John M Crabbie. The aim was to join forces in order to compete against DCL, a structure created in 1877 that brought together a huge number of distilleries, whose production it controlled. The mission for North British was to supply all of the grain whisky required for the growth of various blends, such as Usher’s Whisky and Vat 69. The distillery remained independent until 1993 when it joined the Diageo group.
Merchant
Although the independent bottler Signatory Vintage cannot claim to be one of the oldest in Scotland, it has managed to build up an extremely solid reputation amongst the great malt connoisseurs. The creator of the famous range The Prestonfield and many other well-known ranges, it is best known for its un-chillfiltered and cask strength bottlings that offer amateurs the chance to enjoy their whisky in its most natural form. It was also one of the first independent bottlers to acquire a distillery and now offers a growing number of expressions of one of the most artisan single malts available.
The line
The Cask Strength Collection of single malt and single grain whiskies is without doubt one of the most appreciated ranges. Each release is bottled undiluted, unchillfiltered and usually consists of a single cask. To help the consumer appreciate their whisky at more than a purely aromatic and gustatory level, Signatory Vintage takes care to display on each label, with great precision, the region of production, the date of distillation and bottling, the type of cask used, its number and the number of bottles of the same nectar that were produced. This range thus offers some fascinating facts, in addition to exceptional quality!
