Discover North British Distillery: Masters of Single Grain Whisky
At Boisdale’s online shop, we are delighted to offer whiskies from the North British Distillery, one of Scotland’s most significant grain whisky producers. With a history spanning over 130 years, the distillery remains central to Edinburgh’s whisky story and a trusted source of high-quality grain spirit.
Edinburgh’s Whisky Giant
Established in 1885, the North British Distillery was founded by a consortium of independent blenders seeking an alternative supply of grain whisky. Today, it remains one of the largest grain whisky producers in Scotland, with a reputation for consistent quality and ageing potential.
Craft and Production
The distillery uses continuous column stills to create a lighter style of spirit that matures beautifully over decades. Though much of its output supports blended Scotch, rare single grain bottlings showcase the distillery’s finesse and character.
