Reference Series II 50cl Whisky
Reference Series II
Reference Series II, as well as being an excellent blended malt in its own right, is the second of three 'control' whiskies that increase in average age and complexity. Each of these three initial releases are made up of the same constituent parts, only in different quantities.
In this case, we have a blend of both youthful and older, richer blended malts, with a generous helping of old and very old single malts comprising over 20% of the blend. Extensions (II.1, II.2 etc.) then showcase different additional ingredients and techniques, allowing drinkers to refer back to the original control whisky and appreciate exactly how these specific changes translate in the glass.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Juicy and honeyed with sweet barley and orange. Hugely buttery and quite meaty, extremely well-rounded. Nettle, buttercups, oak, cakey-ness and a little pepper.
Palate
Big, satisfying entry with plenty of classic Sherry influence, herbal and malty with cherries and chocolate.
Finish
Rich oak, chocolate and fantastic creamy Black Forest gâteau.
Overall
Reference Series II has a much higher proportion of very old single malts than I, producing a tremendous blended malt that's also the second control whisky for the brand's ongoing whisky experiments!
