North British 1994/2024, an extraordinary single grain whisky, drawn from a single ex-Laphroaig Quarter Cask. Matured for 30 years and bottled by independent bottler Samaroli. This is a limited-edition release of only 180 bottles. • Single cask # 80 How does the ex-Laphroaig Quarter Cask influence the flavour? As a subtle, delicate smoke—present, but integrated rather than dominant. The peat intensity is lower: after the cask has been used, much of the heavy phenolic punch is already reduced, so the impact is more restrained than in a first-fill, peated-malt release.
Tasting notes
Light floral notes with dried fruit flavours like sultanas and apricots, plus a touch of honey sweetness.
North British is a historic grain distillery known for column-still distillation and a whisky style that is typically clean, cereal-led, and oak-friendly—a profile that becomes especially expressive with long maturation.
