Girvan Distillery - a retrospective

Girvan Distillery:

Prince Charles Opened the Girvan distillery in 1963 and it operated actively for around 12 years through the 1960s and early 1970s. Girvan was a lowland malt distillery on the same site as the Ladyburn grain distillery and in its years of production created much excitement amongst malt lovers including the release of its official bottling of the rare malt in 2000.

No doubt the Girvan and Ladyburn distilleries were built to make Grants as self sufficient as possible - both of these brands/distilleries are owned by William Grants.

Prestige whisky has the rare opportunity to offer a limited release of 1964 Girvan first batch single grain whisky which offers an exquisite whisky offering.

The whisky is not overly complex but a good example of grain whisky and on the nose has spicy and rich notes, the body is surprisingly rich for a grain whisky and the palate offers up a sweet chocolate taste.

The finish is smooth and yet strikingly bold and is a real little cracker!!

The ABV is 48% and one may wish to add a light dash of water to bring out the phenolic of this formidable whisky.
