A single cask of 6 year old Girvan grain whisky matured in an "oak cask" and bottled at 53.1%. I'm not sure how this qualifies as "Auld", but it has been received very well for a very young grain, so perhaps the "rare" epithet is appropriate.
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: silky, honeyed and fruity; Goodies and licorice salt water taffy; exotic fruits, caramel corn and candy apple; not even a slight edge to the alcohol.
Palate: soft, very soft and silky; layered and honeyed and fruity; more licorice Goodies and salt water taffy; more exotic citrus fruits, molasses, caramel corn and candy apple; floral with loads of vanilla.
Finish: coating, lush and creamy; still silky with decadent vanilla, honey and fruits.
Comment: good Lord; for a 6 year old grain this is spectacular; this is not mind-blowingly complex, but there are some nice layers; considering its age, quality and price this is a definite buy!
