Girvan 42 Year Old 1979 Sovereign

Girvan 42 Year Old 1979 is an exceptionally mature Lowland single grain Scotch whisky, bottled by Hunter Laing & Co. for their prestigious Sovereign series. Distilled in 1979 at the Girvan distillery and matured for over four decades in a single refill hogshead (#18972), this rare release was bottled in November 2021, yielding just 268 numbered bottles.

Extended ageing in a refill cask allows the spirit’s natural character to shine, developing remarkable elegance, depth, and complexity without overwhelming oak influence. Over 42 years, Girvan’s light, creamy grain spirit has evolved into a beautifully refined whisky, offering layers of vanilla, soft fruit, and gentle spice. Bottled without chill-filtration or added colour, it is a true showcase of long-aged grain whisky at its finest.
