Product description
The North British Distillery was founded in 1885 by Andrew Usher, William Sanderson and John M. Crabbie, with the participation of several smaller blenders.
The popularity of the latter grew, and their production required a corresponding amount of grain whisky. In its first year of operation (1887), the plant produced 3.6 million liters of distillate. Over the years, North British has been expanded several times, and can currently produce 70 million liters of spirit per year, with the main mash grain being corn. Since 1993, the distillery has belonged to Lothian Distillers, a joint venture created by the capital of Diageo and Edrington Group (50% share each). North British 2008 was aged in bourbon barrels and bottled in October 2021 as part of the Single Grain Collection Signatory Vintage.
