The Autumn 2025
Tasting collection
Ten 30ml Drams
This season’s outturn from Master of Malt includes some rarely seen gems in indie bottlings (Glenlivet 26yo, Cambus 34yo), some some smoky treats (31yo Secret Islay, Ledaig 23yo), and a couple spicy numbers from the US and Canada. This tasting set is the best way to taste the depth and breadth of this season’s release.

Sam Simmons, Head of Whisky
"Fiercely independent and founder-owned, we are a small band of enthusiasts who really give a shit about putting the best possible liquid in your glass.
Selecting casks to bottle under our Master of Malt label is humbling; we didn't distill these liquids but we have the honour of determining their destinies.
Each one is a piece of history, unrepeatable and severely limited, so naturally we never add colour and never chill-filter. We hope you love them as much as we do."
