Like with many of these old distilleries, bottlings of North Port can be ‘hit or miss’ in our opinion, but that also results in more suspense… Colour: pale gold. Nose: ho-ho! This is ‘different’ whisky indeed. It all starts on superb whiffs of mutton soup (yeah, no kidding), Turkish coffee and metal polish and it goes on with a fab combination of wood and coal smoke, warm tarmac, new tyres, burning charcoal and all things beefy plus dried herbs (many different). A truly amazing whisky and a general profile that’s no more for sure. In that sense, this is an historic dram. Mouth: fantastico! All the herbs, citrus fruits, meats and ‘tiny phenolic things’ of creation. Going on would be pure maltoporn. Finish: long, complex, dry, going on with layers and layers of flavours. Comments: as great as the old 1964 by Cadenhead’s that used to be our #1 North Port until today
