Samaroli 1994 North British Single Grain Scotch Whisky Cask #80 2024 700ml

Samaroli 1994 North British Single Grain Scotch Whisky Cask #80 (2024) is a rare and mature single grain Scotch whisky distilled at North British Distillery in Scotland in 1994 and bottled by independent bottler Samaroli in 2024.

Matured for approximately 30 years, this single-cask expression showcases the refined and often underappreciated character of long-aged grain whisky. Extended maturation develops layers of vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, orchard fruit and gentle spice, creating a smooth and sophisticated profile.

Selected from Cask #80, the whisky represents the individual character of a single maturation cask rather than a blend of multiple barrels. Its extended age and limited single-cask presentation make it particularly appealing to collectors and enthusiasts interested in mature Scotch grain whisky.

Bottled at 45.0% ABV, the expression maintains a smooth and approachable strength while retaining the depth, texture and complexity developed through three decades of maturation.
