Tasting Notes by Jim McEwan

Color - Beautiful soft yellow

Body - Smooth as glass

Aromas and Flavors - Incredibly fresh for a spirit of this age. It has a feline charm that is unique to aged grain whiskies .

It's a classic of the genre.

It opens with an aroma of oak syrup with a hint of honey and lemon leading to sun-dried barley then stored in the grain store throughout the year.

Light floral notes of riverside, primrose, lily and marigold serenely.

He is a handsome man for his age.

The cask has played its part superbly in providing the strength, structure and character to make this whiskey such a beauty.

It is a deep and warm spirit which undoubtedly proves how important cask quality has been in feeding this whiskey without ever overpowering it.

Very few people have ever tasted "grain whisky". As a former blender, Carsebridge has always been a powerhouse of grain, bringing a lovely sweetness to the overall composition of many well-known blends.

At this age, he's an absolute treasure.

When will we see his equal again!
