Initially released in mid-2016, Northland was the distillery’s first release. The Whisky has been aged a minimum of four and a half years in used Islay (ex Laphroaig) quarter cask barrels. It’s an outstanding dram that has justifiably garnered considerable praise from a number of the Whisky world's heavyweights (see Jim Murray’s notes below), proving our point that age statements are not necessarily all we should be looking at when judging the quality in the glass.
