1979 Carsebridge Rare Auld Duncan Taylor 27 Year Old 60% Abv

Grain whisky is produced through a continous destillation process, using column stills, rather than the batch destillation in pot stills used for malt whisky. Grain whisky can be made using various types of grain, such as barley, corn, wheat or rye. A grain whisky is distilled at a higher ABV, resulting in a purer and less flavorful spirit. Therefore a grain whisky usually needs a few more years in the casks before it is fully matured. A good quality barrel is also very important, as the grain whisky in itself has very little smell and taste as it goes into the barrel.

Carsebridge distillery was demolished in 1992.
