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

    We bagged a brilliant Speyside single malt here, distilled in 2009 and matured for nine years in a refill hogshead. When it comes to the distillery, well, that's a secret. Confidential, like a recipe for cola or fried chicken, but you know it's the real fingerlickin' thing. 670 bottles join our own collection of in-house releases.

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Cinder toffee, brioche, yeasty, with sweet, soft barley, creamy rice pudding, butterscotch, milk bottle sweeties, and a bakery load of buttered pastries.

    Palate

    White chocolate buttons land first, followed by a bold backing of peppery malt. Complex layers of roasted chestnut, chewy toffee, and butter biscuits assemble beside robust oak and sherry-soaked sultanas.

    Finish

    A final flash of pepper arrives on the end, leaving a warm finish, cushioned by hearty layers of drying oak, biscuity barley, and burnt caramel.

    Explosive!!!

    This is the hardest dram to score. Give it 30 mins and loads of water and it’s incredible. The layers and intensity are incredible. Malty and sweet, lavender, capsicum, pepper and honey. Creamy and fat. It’s an experience for sure. And I’d rather drink this than 40% market shite. However, why release it at this potency? Surely at 50% it would be more approachable? Still, can’t complain, thanks for assaulting my senses!

    Best thing you’ve ever done

    Watered down suitably, this is a complex, delicious dram. That is now sold out. Kismet.

    Needs time and water

    This is too strong to drink neat for me - has a peppery burn to it that overpowers the other flavours. With sufficient water and allowing time in the glass this is very creamy yet with oaky dryness balancing the sweeter notes. For me somewhere between 3 parts whiskey to 2 parts water and half and half is about right. Given its 66% alcohol adding that much water still leaves you drinking something between 40 and 33% alcohol so very good value.

    An excellent single cask

    An excellent example of a Speyside single cask. Strong but subtlety sweet. Some reviews say one dimensional, but yes it's from one cask. It could be blended to add dimension. An excellent base whisky in a blend or in a light cocktail. Overall a great whisky to help understand the blending/finishing process.

    Ginormous beast

    This is one big dram. I like a cask strength dram but this is enormous. It required a fair chunk of water to make it palatable. It had very similar qualities to something from a distillery that sounds like Flen Garclas. Not bad by any means, just very very bold.
