The Single Cask Ltd.·The Family SeriesGreat Northern Distillery

This 7-year-old single malt from Great Northern Distillery was bottled by The Single Cask Ltd. at cask strength, 54.1% ABV. As a first-fill bourbon barrel release, it is likely to show a clear influence from the oak, often bringing vanilla-led sweetness alongside fresh malt character.

For a novice drinker, expect a younger whisky style with more intensity and a livelier profile than older bottlings. The cask-strength presentation means it may drink hot if taken neat, so a little water can help soften the alcohol and open up the aromas.
