Girvan Sincere Grain
- Scotland - 58.00%
7 Good spirit, but an average whisky.
Girvan Single Grain 1964
Single Grain - Scotland - 48.00%
8 I've always had a soft spot for this distillery's Black Barrel, and I like this version even more. Not very complex – but it is a grain whisky.
Girvan Single Grain 1964
Single Grain - Scotland - 48.00%
8 Black Barrel with more age, more wood.
Berry's Own Selection Girvan 1989
Single Grain - Scotland - 46.00%
8 An excellent refreshing dram. Well balanced, rich and light at the same time. Very enjoyable with chilled water.
Old Masters Girvan 15 Years Old, Cask 110636
Single Grain - Scotland - 60.40%
7 Astonishingly full in both body and flavour for a grain whisky.
Old Masters Girvan 16 Years Old
Single Grain - Scotland - 58.00%
7 Unrefined wood spoils the aromatic display. It does not leave a clean feel. A rather grumpy character.
