A Secret Highland Distillery 10 Year Old 2014 (Master of Malt)
Bright, fresh, and fruity, this single malt hails from a secret distillery in the Scottish Highlands, and now it joins our own independent Master of Malt collection. Distilled in March 2014, the whisky spent a decade maturing in a refill hogshead, yielding 218 bottles when we cracked into it in August 2024 (without added colour or chill filtration). It's delightfully creamy, with waves of buttery shortbread and vanilla, bread dough, and pastry.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Waves of funky, slightly overripe fruit and creamy grist open the way for notes of yoghurt-coated raisins, banana bread, and lemon drizzle cake. A touch of sawdust and toasted oak nestle beneath.
Palate
Vanilla cream, rhubarb and custard sweeties, then fresh bread and a touch of savoury oak. Fresh apples join in time, with sweet notes of cinder toffee, milk chocolate, and crumbly fudge.
Finish
The ripe fruit character carries right the way to the finish, with savoury, creamy notes of oat cakes and toasted oak balanced by sweeter hints of Bakewell Tart, pineapple, and buttery caramel.
