The original Girvan Patent Still was built by William Grant's great-grandson, Charles Gordon, in 1963, when it was given the rather catchy name "No 1 Apps" (referring to the term apparatus). After distillation, this whisky was aged for a massive 25 years before being popped into some incredibly elegant bottles, which are then put into striking boxes that are decorated with metal badges and side panels.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Vanilla fudge, Werther's Original, touch of lemon and lime zest. Peppercorns, banana and honey.
Palate: Pleasant mouthfeel with more some more vanilla and a little apricot.
Finish: Woody, sparkling water.
Overall: A well-aged grain whisky that's a big step up from the upcoming no age statement release.
