Edinburgh Distillery's Tartan Army Single Grain 1998

Edinburgh Distillery releases a remarkable single cask expression: the Single Grain 1998 27 Year Old Tartan Army Cask #701157. This rare 27-year-old whisky was distilled on 10 June 1998—the day Scotland played Brazil at the World Cup in France. A release with historical significance, bottled by Finn Thomson for the Tartan Army.

This single grain whisky matured for 27 years in cask #701157, developing a mature and refined character. Single grain whiskies from Edinburgh are relatively uncommon, and this extended maturation has cultivated classic characteristics: natural sweetness and a buttery, full-bodied texture typical of well-aged single grains.

The nose reveals honey and almond with a meaty undertone. On the palate, vanilla and honey dominate, while the finish brings hazelnut, dried spices, and that distinctive meaty quality. A complex and balanced profile reflecting decades of maturation.

At an estimated retail price of €170, this is a valuable addition for collectors and single grain enthusiasts. A release combining Scottish football history with the craft of whisky distillation.
