Girvan No. 4 Apps Single Grain
Single Grain
William Grant & Sons // Lowlands, Scotland
Girvan is a single grain distillery owned by William Grant & Sons. The distillery, built in 1963, has been producing whisky ever since for their blended whiskies, but this is the first time the distillery has put out a distillery bottling.
The No. 4 Apps (named after the distillery term for "apparatus") is distilled using vacuum distillation, something they have done since 1992.

Tasting Notes
"Sweet cereal notes and a touch of barrel spice are detected along with a dollop of vanilla. The whisky has some roundness and softness on the mid-palate, so is not as sharp and angular as you might expect from the color (which is unadulterated). It is quite a delicate whisky; if you are looking for a big, bold, bruiser of a whisky, this will not be the whisky for you. That said it is a lovely start to the evening and would be a good sipper for someone who is just dipping their toes into the whisky waters."
