By Miguel in Tasting , North of Scotland

“Super grain whisky. Haven't I bought a bottle of Carsebridge for Christmas that would have been my best option. Quite dramtastic whisky sir!”

93
North of Scotland 1973 / Cask #14570 / Berry Bros& Rudd Single Whisky
A 1973 vintage single grain whisky from North of Scotland, founded in 1958, closed in 1980 and dismantled in 1993. This was aged for 38 years before being bottled in 2012 by Berry Brothers and Rudd.

This dram has a gold-like color.

Nose (92): more than average. cereals, honey, vanilla, red mature fruits, citrus, spices, roses.

Palate (93): powerful, oily. honey, wood, nutmeg, citrus, ginger, spices, candies.

Finish (93): long. candies, floral, spices.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this North of Scotland 1973 / Cask #14570 / Berry Bros& Rudd Single Whisky with 93 points over 100.

Incredible evening with Berrys Bros & Rudd Whisky, Steve Rush and the rest of the amazing panel of tasters with @OliverKlimet, @cowfish, @BBRrob, @weheartwhisky, @EdinburghWhisky and @themisswhsiky between others under the #BerrysWhisky hashtag. (By the way, follow me @whiskywardrobe if you aren’t already :) )

North of Scotland 37 years old Clan Denny Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , North of Scotland

“A master piece. A whisky that makes George T Stagg bourbon to palish.”

94
North of Scotland 37 year 1972 The Clan Denny
This single grain whisky comes from the now close and lost North of Scotland distillery.

Producing only grain whisky, this distillery created this marvel of 37 years old. A frankly amazing age of whisky for the price.

If you ever see it again, buy it!

This dram has a amber-like color.

Nose (93): strong. corn, honey, wood, vanilla, spices, cinnamon, citrus. What a wonderful nose! As good as George T Stagg

Palate (96): powerful, oily. corn, honey, vanilla, citrus, pepper, cinnamon, cardamon, wood.

Finish (93): long. corn, wood, honey, cinnamon, spices.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this North of Scotland 37 year 1972 The Clan Denny with 94 points over 100.
