Easy Sipper North British Single Grain Scotch Whisky, 11y 2011
Highlands, The Whisky Cellar, 700 ml
Producer: | The Whisky Cellar |
Origin: | Scotland / Highlands |
Description
Matured in ex-bourbon casks, this whisky from the North British Distillery in Edinburgh presents the light aromas of vanilla, buttercream, toffee, citrus fruits and a hint of coconut typical of single grain. On the palate, it is accessible and soft on the finish. What started as an idea during the lockdown in the UK has become a reality. Founder Keith Bonnington thought: what if we could bottle the sweetest whiskies imaginable to celebrate the physical reunion of friends? The kind of whiskies that everyone enjoys. The kind where you pop the cork and never see it again. With rays of sunlight meandering to distant mountains, rainbows, a hot air balloon and the hope of better times ahead. Because, who doesn't enjoy the sight of a hot air balloon with a good glass of whisky in hand? Easy sipper means easy drinking!

Highlands
Highlands: Clans, Schafe, Whiskys
Die schottischen Highlands, die nur wenige Kilometer nördlich von Glasgow beginnen, und sich von dort über fast 400 Kilometer bis zum nördlichsten Zipfel des schottischen Festlandes ziehen, sind eine mystische Landschaft. Seit Jahrhunderten wird hier die Politik und die Kultur von alteingesessenen Clans bestimmt. Auf dem kargen Hügelland dominiert die Schafzucht. Zudem reifen hier einige der komplexesten und elegantesten Single Malts.

Scotland
Scotland – Wild history, warming whisky
Whiskey, bagpipes, kilts – These are the most famous elements of Scottish culture. It has not been conclusively determined who invented whisky. The Scots and Irish both argue that they invented the “water of life.” Food and drink definitely tops the Scottish export categories. Every second, around 40 bottles of whisky are purchased. So it’s hardly surprising that whisky makes up around 80 percent of total food and drink exports.
