A Secret Speyside 9 Year Old 2009 (Master of Malt) Whisky

I also think this is gorgeous.
I love this peppery kick with ice cubes, sitting in my garden looking at the evening sky.
Also: good neat.
Cheers 🥃🧊

First bottle of whisky from MoM (or anywhere else for that matter) I really haven't liked at all. The other MoM bottlings have been excellent but this one just isn't right. There's an overpowering flavour that doesn't match any of the tasting notes and drowns out any other flavours. If I could return it, I would but as it's now open I guess that's not feasible. The only thing left to try is adding some water to bring the abv down and see if it releases any of the flavours alleged to be present. Sorry MoM - this bottle is a dud.

Powerful and tasty , but just missing something.... hard to explain.

As a previous review has said, this needs some water to calm it down a little. However, the water releases a wonderful array of flavours. A really great whisky, and excellent value.

Took a gamble and glad I did, very enjoyable and bought another. I don't often add water to my whisky but this benefits from several teaspoonsful. Nice to try something a bit different from the usual.

Another good Whisky form MOM. For the price and strength, you cannot go wrong. I had to play about with the water, to get it just right, but hey that's part of the fun. I have already ordered another bottle.

Firstly delivery was outstanding. Ordered one day and it arrived within 24 hours, despite it being in the days just before Xmas. This malt is powerful and unique and one of the best to my mind. Chilled and on ice is my choice.
