Independent bottler Dramfool’s 30th release included this 30-year-old single grain whisky from the North British Distillery. Distilled in 1989 and bottled in 2020, this well-aged single bourbon cask shows the potential of grain whisky when aged over several decades. At a natural cask strength of 48.2% ABV, the cask yielded only 182 bottles, which were bottled all-natural.
