“South Scottish” 18 year old

In tribute to their late founder Aedan, the guys at Fib have introduce their first "South Scottish" whisky, from North British Distillery in Edinburgh.

He was a passionate Scotsman so wouldn't have had these bottled any other way.

To give a suitably special finish to the lovely bourbon dram, they chose a Banyuls cask, previously filled with a rare fortified red wine from Coume Des Mas winery near Perpignan in France.

A finish of just 29 days has given a remarkable depth of flavour and colour!
      
        Distilled on 02.05.2006 then bottled on 21.01.2025 at 18 years old.

        Bottled at a natural cask strength 53.3% with only 58 Bottles available.


Tasting notes from the guys at Fib.

On the nose there is Haribo cherries, strawberry laces and glacé cherries too!

        You get a lovely whack of rose turkish delight on the tongue, which gives way to a crème brûlée sweetness

        The finish leaves you with a mix of sweet red fruit and gently toasted caramel.
