    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    An inviting nose with smooth, dark malty oak, some pepper heat and cocoa.

    Palate

    More of that pepper heat, orange peel and pecan.

    Finish

    Warming and sweet.

    Overall

    A delicious Speyside single cask, warming and malty.

    Superb

    I couldn't get enough of this ! Bought the second bottle at whisky bar after finishing the first without a second thought, very pricy though but worth every drop.

    Awesome

    Top quality product from a 'lesser' known distillery. This is a lovely well rounded dram and the temptation to get another bottle before it sells out is massive!! A brilliant whisky for the price!! I never thought I would call a £200+ whisky a bargain but this is awesome!!

    Mine just arrived

    Amazing, honestly don't know how other distilleries can charge more than double for a single cask 30 year plus. If this started with a Mac or a Glen it would be sold out already!! Don't miss out, this is honestly an equal to a much higher priced dram.
