Secret Speyside Distillery 8 Year Old 2014 Single Cask (Master of Malt)
We bottled up another single cask of Speyside single malt for our exclusive Master of Malt collection! Distilled in 2014, the whisky matured for eight years in a refill hogshead before bottling in 2023. It's from a secret Speyside distillery. Secret bottlings work somewhat like a giant version of hook-a-duck at the fun fair. All the barrels have a number painted on the underneath, and every couple of months, a gaggle of indie bottlers like us gather around with fishing rods, hoping we have luck on our side and catch a cask filled with whisky, not a dud that's filled with rubber ducks. A release of 500 bottles.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Bright, vibrant layers of fresh apples, apricots and peaches join vanilla shortbread, sourdough, creamy custard, and pencil shavings.
Palate
Superbly soft and elegant, with sugar-dusted melon, honey-drenched stone fruits and juicy apples backed by sweet notes of flapjack and toasted coconut.
Finish
Sweet fruit salad notes linger with summer berries, peaches and cream, vanilla pods, and oaken caramel.
