North of Scotland 1973 Robert Scott & Co. Natural Cask Strength - bottled 2012 Scott's Selection

The wine

A grain whisky produced at the North of Scotland distillery in 1973 and bottled in 2012 for the Scott’’s Selection range founded in the 1990s by Robert Scott, the former master distiller of the Speyside Distillery. Whiskies in the range are bottled at cask strength without chill-filtration.

About the Producer North of Scotland

In 1957, George P. Christie bought Forth Brewery and founded the North Of Scotland distillery. This new distillery produced both grain whisky and malt whisky (under the name Strathmore) for use in blends. As demand for grain whisky was much higher at the time, just a year after the distillery opened Christie dismantled his pot stills to make room for a larger mash tun. North of Scotland suffered greatly during the subsequent overproduction crisis and the owner eventually decided to close the distillery in 1980, before selling it to Distillers Company Limited (DCL) two years later. The equipment was dismantled and transferred to other distilleries in the group, including the neighbouring Cambus distillery. The buildings are still used as warehouses today. North of Scotland is famous for being more aromatic and having more character than many of its grain-whisky peers. The first official bottling was a 50 year old released in 2017 in partnership with Elixir Distillers, but North of Scotland is mostly commonly found among independent bottlers.
