This ex-Bourbon barrel, single grain whisky has a pronounced nose of vanilla, custard cream and some lively citrus, topped by a distinctive smokiness from its period of finishing in an ex-Islay cask. The palate is surprisingly full and oily, with waves of coffee, cream, spice and juicy lime. To finish, there is a delicate, spicy prickle and lingering smokiness.
Girvan distillery, situated on the south-west coast of Scotland opened in 1963 on the former site of a munitions factory. For a few years the single malt, Ladyburn, now very rare, was produced at the complex. One of the most noticeable structures in the town of Girvan is the distinctive clock-tower, Auld Stumpy which was built during the 1700s.
