Established in 1885 by Andrew Usher Jr., William Sanderson, and John Crabbie, the North British Distillery Company is a landmark grain whisky producer situated in Edinburgh, Scotland. Conceived during the Victorian era's blended whisky revolution, the distillery was specifically designed to produce premium grain whisky using continuous column stills (Coffey stills). Andrew Usher, widely recognized as a pioneering figure in blended Scotch whisky, spearheaded this venture to secure a reliable supply of quality grain spirit for his renowned blends. The distillery's output—characterized by its light, delicate, and versatile profile—has become an essential foundation for countless iconic Scotch whisky brands. As one of Scotland's largest and most enduring grain whisky facilities, North British continues to operate with the same commitment to excellence, supplying premium grain whisky to the global Scotch industry.

Poured a glass of this gold liquid earlier. To be honest, I'm not quite a fan of these world whiskies when they lean this way. It's a special grain but feels a bit thin. Smells a bit like juniper and apple peelings, almost like a gin. Tastes of sweet beer and maise, mixed with coconut water and dry coconut biscuits. There's some sour wood at the end, and the finish is medium to short. Just a bit of a weird grain dram for me 🥥 Cheers anyway!

Right, had a wee dram of this tonight. 🥃 Nose is smoky but sweet, like burnt toffee. 🍯 Palate warms the chest, bit of spice then smooth honey. Definatly reminds me of autumn evenings. 🍂 Proper nice finish, lingers just right. 👍 Would have another glass tbh.
