North British 30 Year Old 1991 – Signatory Vintage Cask Strength Collection

Unlock a rare gem from Scotland’s whisky heritage with the North British 30 Year Old 1991, a spectacular single grain whisky from Signatory Vintage’s Cask Strength Collection. Distilled on September 2, 1991, and bottled on July 16, 2022, this limited edition release spent three decades maturing in a single Refill Sherry Butt (Cask #262089)—resulting in a rich, complex spirit that exemplifies the beauty of aged grain whisky.

With only 503 bottles available worldwide, this cask strength expression (55.0% ABV) offers whisky connoisseurs an opportunity to experience the refined intensity that only 30 years of patient aging can achieve.

Why This Rare Grain Whisky Deserves a Spot in Your Collection

Unlike more commonly sought-after single malts, aged single grain whiskies offer an entirely different dimension of flavor—often more delicate, yet remarkably layered over time. This expression captures that essence perfectly while also incorporating the richness of refill sherry cask maturation.

As part of the Signatory Cask Strength Collection, this bottling stands out with its full transparency: distillation and bottling dates, cask number, and strength are all prominently displayed. That level of detail, combined with the rarity of 30-year-old grain whisky bottled at natural cask strength, makes this a collector’s dream.

Tasting Notes – A Journey of Rich Simplicity

Nose
Fragrant and inviting. Notes of grilled pears, green apples, and soft vanilla custard rise gently from the glass. Hints of toasted cereal and a whiff of light oak enhance the elegance of the bouquet.

Palate
Smooth and surprisingly full-bodied for a grain whisky. Enjoy flavors of apple pie, brown sugar, sweet oak, and light baking spice, interwoven with subtle sherry notes from the refill cask. A beautifully balanced mid-palate highlights both the whisky’s maturity and finesse.

Finish
Long and gently warming. Layers of liquorice, clove, and lingering fruit emerge slowly, with a soft dryness from the oak that provides excellent structure and complexity.
