Sherry
Hailing from the Braeval distillery, also known as Braes of Glenlivet, a splendid eight-year-old single malt joins the Master of Malt family. Distilled in 2014, the whisky spent its years in a single Pedro Ximénez sherry cask, with a total of 395 bottles released by us in 2022.

Slightly burnt caramel, cookie dough, and coffee grounds at the start. Vanilla custard pastries, plus tropical, juicy notes of mango and coconut cream.
The sweet, bakery notes continue with notes of cake batter, melted white chocolate, and buttercream, balanced by charred pineapple and zesty candied orange. Crushed almonds and roasted walnuts rest in the depths.
Chocolate lime sweeties develop in the distance, with a touch of treacly gingersnap biscuit warmth. Sticky toffee and drying cinnamon linger.

Nose: Red apples, overripe plums, dates, barley sugar Taste: Ginger, cinnamon, stiff honey, spices, sweet, oily mouthfeel, white pepper Long finish Really good whisky for the price!
This is my first IB from master of malt and its really tasty. On the nose the sherry is beautiful but there's buttery biscuits in the background. Like eating a chunk of marzipan with a malted milk. At 64% it's sharp to taste, but very interesting, and if you add a teaspoon of water it opens up and becomes very full flavoured. Rich dried fruits. If I had to pick faults it isn't the most complex whisky, but at 8 years old it's certainly not lacking depth. I was dubious but I'm very impressed!
