Finest Blended Scotch Whisky – Grampian Computers Edition (1990s Miniature)
This rare and discontinued 50ml blended Scotch whisky miniature was specially bottled in the 1990s for Grampian Computers, a Scottish technology company. A piece of both corporate and whisky memorabilia, this bottle offers a unique glimpse into the promotional practices of the time, when companies would commission limited whisky runs for staff, clients, or events.
Historical Context
-

Hints of grain cereal, toffee, and a touch of oak
-
Faint fruitiness (green apple, pear)

-
Notes of light caramel, honey, and vanilla
-
Hints of almond, with gentle spice and soft grain whisky undertones
Finish:
-
Short to medium
-
Slight warmth with a touch of oak, dried fruit, and light smoke
Note: The 80% fill level may mean oxidation has influenced the aroma and taste profile over time.
