Sovereign Carsebridge 1965 50 Y

The Sovereign Carsebridge 1965 - 50 years is a true treasure of the Scottish whisky world. Distilled in October 1965, this single grain whisky spent half a century patiently maturing in a refill hogshead cask before being bottled in October 2015 by the renowned independent bottler Hunter Laing. With only 267 bottles available at natural cask strength (41.5% ABV), this whisky captures the very essence of elegance and depth that a well-aged great whisky can achieve. A piece of history from the legendary Carsebridge distillery, closed since 1983, this whisky is also a tribute to the heritage of Scotland’s vanished distilleries.

TASTING NOTES:

NOSE: Upon opening the bottle, the nose reveals the classic richness of aged grain whiskies. Creamy and indulgent aromas of vanilla, caramel, and a subtle hint of citrus zest blend together in refined harmony. A light lemony freshness balances the ensemble.

PALATE: On the palate, complexity fully unfolds. A wave of creamy vanilla intertwines with notes of green apple, cinnamon, and walnut fudge. The texture is silky and elegant, showcasing perfect mastery of cask aging.

FINISH: Long and persistent, the finish reveals the soft tannins of oak, bringing subtle structure and spicy nuances. Sweet notes of toffee and vanilla gradually fade, giving way to a delicate yet assertive woody impression.
