WHISPERING WATERS GIRVAN 27 YEAR, 100 ML SAMPLE

TASTE OUR INAUGURAL RELEASE BEFORE COMMITTING TO THE BOTTLE
Region Lowland Distillery Girvan Style Single Grain Age 27 years ABV 52.6% Cask Ex-Bourbon Volume 100 ml

This is a 100 ml pour of the whisky that started The Whiskey Lab: a 27 year single cask Girvan with enough buttery richness to win over bourbon drinkers and enough finesse to satisfy committed Scotch fans. After 27 years in a single ex-bourbon cask, it lands somewhere all its own.

There is family in this bottle too. Girvan is owned by William Grant & Sons, the family distiller behind Glenfiddich and Balvenie and the house that produces the Clan MacGregor blend, the clan our founder Jay claims through his maternal grandfather. Choosing Girvan for our first release was equal parts taste and heritage.

Distilled March 1997. Bottled July 2024. Single cask, reference 700095. Cask strength at 52.6%. Non-chill filtered. Natural color. The sample is drawn from the same 265-bottle outturn as the full release.

Tasting notes
Nose
Opens with rich brown butter and a touch of cinnamon. With a few drops of water it evolves into brown butter cornbread and coconut oil, with a subtle undercurrent of vanilla.
Palate
Velvety and complex, with an acidic, oily texture. Overripe bananas, candied bacon, and a tropical hint of pineapple create a rich and engaging experience.
Finish
Long and indulgent, marked by buttery richness and a delightful fruity funk, leaving a lasting impression of both luxury and depth.
