Description

A rare bottling of Carsebridge single grain Scotch whisky, distilled in May 1973 and bottled in June 2016 by independent bottler Hunter Laing for their Sovereign range. Carsebridge was a Lowland grain distillery founded in 1799, which closed in 1983, making its whiskies highly sought-after by enthusiasts and collectors. This 43-year-old expression was aged in a single refill butt, with only 345 bottles produced.
