Butterscotch & Vanilla & Toast & A Generation 30 Year Old

Absolutely delicious. No need to say anything else.

21st October 2022

I've recently been getting into grain blends as an 'affordable' way to experience very old scotch (there's something to be said for being an unfashionable drink). I was too tempted to say no at the price - it arrived yesterday (within 24 hours on standard delivery, nice!). It does exactly what it says on the bottle. It has the character of a very good bourbon which isn't surprising being a grain whiskey. Exceptionally smooth, a bit heavier on the oak, and a little sweet - but not as thick as a similarly aged malt. That said, it's a third of the price. If you buy it expecting a £400 bottle of 30-year single malt, you won't get what you are hoping for. That said, for £65, it's an absolute bargain and I'd be happy paying twice that for it.

One of the best I’ve had

Lovely smooth with lots of flavour. The tasting notes are too complex. After all, if I put rich butterscotch, freshly baked cookies dotted with chocolate chunks, pepper, with a dry hint of toasted cedar into a glass, then added vanilla, cinnamon, gingerbread, and treacle all together it would not taste nice at all.
To me, it has a honey sweetness that is not sugar sweet, but still has the flavour. The toast flavour also comes through. It is smooth, and warm, with no harsh burning sensations which spoil (for me) some other whiskies. Basically, a lovely easy to drink whisky which does seem to reflect its 30 year age and the name given to it.

My son bought me this whisky for Father's Day as he understands my tastes.
The presentation surprised me for a product such as this. But not judging a whisky by it's label I uncorked it, wafted the bottle under my nares and the pleasure began. This experience was followed by considered tasting quickly followed by more of the same. As usual my son hit the target in procuring a fascinating, eminently drinkable and highly pleasurable whisky.

Hi,
After receiving an email late 23rd Dec 2021, I thought I'd treat myself for Christmas and ordered this seeing as they were giving next-day delivery and it was already about 7pm the day before Christmas eve.
With all credit to Master of Malt, the delivery arrived Christmas eve as promised ( you can't get better service than that! ) I waited untill about 7pm Christmas day when all the hustle and bustle had ended, and cracked my Christmas treat to myself. Now although it's a nice easy 30 year old to drink, and at a fraction of other 30 year olds, I must say that I believe I can get something as good for half the price, but that's only my own personal opinion. I've no doubts that to others it will be the dogs dangles! After all I've only been into whisky for the last 5 years or so. One thing I can say though is that I've always had the best service from these guys at the Master of Malt.
All the best guys
Richard .

Tastes like very good bourbon, thin though.

Bought this on spec as I fancied an aged whiskey but don’t have to money to get something too expensive.
I’m not disappointed at all. I may have found my new favourite drink.. I’d advise you to get a bottle bought if you’re on the fence.. but I kind of hope you don’t as I want it all myself!

Tastes like a really good bourbon. Very thin mouthfeel though and a medium finish that could stop around longer. Would be fantastic at cask strength. Great value, but could have been better.

Smoothly done, a really sweet trick to pull. Just exactly as per the tasting notes - with a good thick mature quality from all that 30 year old loveliness. First sip won me over, but the love affair will surely deepen once some air and time gets involved.
