Reference Series II

(50cl, 47.5%)

Reference Series II

Unfortunately, we can't ship Reference Series II to the United States at the moment, but we've got some friends who can.

Reference Series II Bottling Note

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!

Reference Series II Reviews

Very Interesting

I've never had a whisky before where there's such an interplay between the very young and the very old. Interestingly they don't 'clash' as such, but you can really taste both parts of the whisky.

Amazing Idea

In this second whisky the more intersting whiskies are much more obvious - it's easy to taste the older and more christmassy flavors.
