Master of Malt was founded in 1985 as a retailer and bottler of whisky and other fine spirits. Today, we bottle new whiskies all the time, and our policy is simple: we only ever put our name on anything that makes us go “Wow!” That’s all there is to it! Being extremely picky, we regularly try dozens of cask samples before we find one we’re willing to bottle (trying glass after glass of fine Scotch whisky is harder than it sounds!). We also dearly love to bottle unusual whiskies too. Take our Bowmore 26 Year Old, for example. It first caught our attention with its intense aromas and flavours of Parma Violets and other old-fashioned tuck shop sweets. We’ve also got a fantastic 20 Year Old North British, which - perhaps unusually for a grain whisky - offers up huge complexity, and the most bourbon-laden palate we’ve ever tried in any whisky made outside of Kentucky! When it comes to bottling, we like to leave things unadulterated. We never add caramel colouring to our whiskies, and we prefer to leave them at natural cask strength. In the rare occasion when we lower the bottling strength we never, ever use chill-filtration, as we believe this affects the flavour of good spirit, and we can’t have that! We also offer 3cl whisky samples of as many of our own bottlings as possible, to give you the opportunity to try before you buy. Plus, if you’re looking for an extra special gift, we are more than happy to personalise anything from our own range…
