Watt Whisky North British 1991 – 32 Year Old – 50.1%

This North British 1991 is an exceptionally long-aged Single Grain Scotch Whisky, selected by the independent bottler Watt Whisky. After no less than 32 years of maturation, it was bottled in 2023 at 50.1% ABV. The production run is extremely limited: only 102 bottles.

On the nose, it shows its long maturation with honeycomb, golden syrup, walnut oil, polished oak, and vanilla. In addition, softer, sweeter aromas of whipped cream, banana, and coconut appear.

The palate is rich and layered, with honey, black pepper, and syrup, followed by beeswax, candied orange, vanilla, and liquorice. As it stays in the glass longer, fruity notes such as peach also emerge. The finish is long, fruity, and lightly sweet, with lingering vanilla.

The whisky was bottled as a Single Cask and at Cask Strength, without added colouring and without chill-filtration. With its high age and exceptionally small production run, this is a remarkable release within the Watt Whisky range.
