About this bottle
A single grain Scotch whisky from Scotland, Girvan 40 Year Old 1985 Single Grain Scotch Whisky is part of the Spirit Hives whiskey selection. It is bottled at 49% ABV, carrying a 40-year age statement, in a 700 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: Rich, dense layers of chewy toffee, treacle, and old oak, with buttery pastry and candied pecans in tow. Milk chocolate, grilled banana, and vanilla fudge. A subtle touch of polished wood in the distance; on the palate: Silky caramel opens the way for mouth-filling layers of sweet, biscuity malt, caramelised nuts, crumbly fudge, and rich oaken vanilla and spice. Crunchie bars, brown sugar, and a warming touch of cinnamon develop in time; finish: Sweet old oak and toffee linger, with syrupy pudding, honeyed prunes, and balanced layers of tannic, earthy spice in the depths.

Serving & pairing
Serve neat with a few drops of water to open the aromas. Lighter styles suit smoked salmon and shortbread; peated styles suit blue cheese and oysters.
Single malt or blended Scotch?
Single malt means one distillery, 100% malted barley, pot stills. Blended Scotch mixes malt whisky from several distilleries with lighter grain whisky, aiming for consistency and approachability. Blended malt (no grain whisky) sits between the two. Neither is inherently better; single malts show one distillery’s character while good blends show balance.
