Blended
Scotland
1 Jan 1990
1 May 2022
A real treat, bottled up by us right here at Master of Malt! This blended Scotch combines whiskies aged for a hefty 32 years between 1990 and 2022, and married in a single barrel, before being bottled. A release of 337 bottles, and it's a stunner... If we do say so ourselves.
An almost rum-like quality leads with heavy depths of sweet, estery oak and mellow malt. Pancakes with toasty maple syrup open the way for creamy apricot, and rice pudding with a crispy burnt top. Buttered malt loaf and Custard Creams appear – there's so much to explore!
Gloriously generous layers of delicate peach and apricot, tangy apple sauce, and buttery custard tarts. It's so soft, with mellow spice kept firmly in check beneath vanilla tablet and creamy barley.
A tropical touch of guava creeps in, alongside crumbly fudge, yet more vanilla, burnt sugar, and toasted malt. Things remain silky smooth as the gloriously sweet, mouthcoating malt and mellow oak char fade slowly into the distance.

Was doubtful, I confess. Opened it at our club tasting last night and came back here to write this review and grab a bottle myself. Unbelievable.
