“I was reluctant to review this until I saw it was sold out. I think this is delicious. No-one should trust my opinion, but I find that of all my recent purchases I am drawn to this for my first dram of the weekend. I am a whisky newbie, but this is right in my sweet spot. For me it has a lovely nose; very delicate, sweet with notes of marshmallow, malt, roasted grain, dried and candied fruit. With hints of tobacco, icing sugar and light herbs, like geranium, thyme, dill and ginger. It has a very sudden arrival on the palate: citrus, lemon, acid, sweet. Maybe a little rough, and it can take a few teaspoons of water for a double. It has a lovely oily mouthfeel. A bit like limoncello. Hints of honey, banana and orange rind. Quite complex. It has a lot of woody spice, that leaves the tongue tingling after every sip. A melony, salty finish. I love it. I bought a second bottle almost immediately after buying my first. I'll save that. ”

Glentauchers 12 Year Old 2009 Single Cask (Master of Malt)

A single malt so delicious that we got our hands on the whole cask and bottled it up! Distilled at Glentauchers in 2009, this expression spent the next 12 years maturing in a single cask, until it was independently bottled by yours truly in 2022. A release of 323 bottles, each one of them like beloved children to us, but we know they'll be in good hands.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Soft, doughy bread, delicate white flowers, and zingy quince open the way, before milky tea, white chocolate, and yoghurt-coated raisins arrive. Crisp white fruit, and sugared Rice Krispies.

Palate

So soft! So creamy! Mouthcoating layers of Caramac bars, chantilly cream, tonka, vanilla, and coconut easily tame a single spike of peppery malt at the core.

Finish

That spicy warmth stays on the horizon, kept at bay by a cushion of creamy barley, with freshly baked madeleines and vanilla clotted cream.
