North British 34 Year Old Tasting Notes
Official tasting notes
Nose: Red berries and stewed fruit accompany a deep woody spice. Grassy notes emerge with a few drops of water.
Palate: Sweeter and richer than expected. The dram washes around the mouth coating it like syrup, The creamy nature of single grain persists despite the unctuous overtones of tawny port, the pepper imparted by European oak and mature leathery chocolate.
Finish: The bright zing mellows to clootie dumpling sweetness which in turn melts into the creaminess of single grain and leaves a clove-infused warmth.
About Uncharted's Ruby Tuesday
Bright, fruity and stunningly coloured Scotch from the west coast.
Girvan distillery hugs the Ayrshire coast on a latitude with the stunning Ailsa Craig rock protruding from the sea. The same site is home to the renowned Ailsa Bay single malt.
This whisky was filled originally to ex–bourbon wood before being re-racked during maturation a cask that is unique as it gets. The tawny port butt was made the old school way - the staves were almost 4cm thick! They don’t make them like that anymore. The port cask had been used to mature old tawny port for over 60 years. The effect this had on the Girvan liquid is outrageous. The colour has deepened to a deep garnet (hence the name) and the aroma springs out of the glass.
