The Exceptional Grain 3rd Edition is a remarkable blended grain Scotch whisky that promises a unique and memorable drinking experience. Crafted by Sutcliffe & Son, this whisky hails from the renowned Highlands region and boasts an ABV of 43%, presented in a 700ml bottle. This exceptional blend is meticulously assembled from a selection of aged grain whiskies, each chosen for its distinct and memorable characteristics. Unlike other blends that strive for yearly consistency, The Exceptional Grain aims to create individually distinctive expressions with every edition.
This third edition features a rare 30-year-old whisky from the now-closed Carsebridge Distillery, adding a layer of allure and exclusivity. The blending process is overseen by Willie Phillips, the former director of The Macallan, ensuring the highest standards of craftsmanship are met. The blend includes whiskies from five different distilleries: North British, Strathclyde, Cameronbridge, Loch Lomond, and the exceptional 30-year-old parcel from Carsebridge. After the blending, the whisky is further refined by finishing it in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks, which imparts subtle, elegant flavors and a robust structure.
The final result is a whisky that is both subtle and elegant, with a rich and nutty profile, complemented by notes of vanilla and milk chocolate. The Exceptional Grain 3rd Edition is a testament to the art of blending and the celebration of exceptional aged grain whiskies.
