We're donating £1 for every order placed through our site to help people who have lost their jobs because of the COVID-19 crisis. We're partnering with hospitalityaction.org.uk to administer the fund, and make grants to impacted individuals.
By shopping with us today, you're lending a helping hand.
Together, we're going to try and support as many people as we can through this challenging time, and we're going to do it in the way which people need most - by providing cold hard cash so they can buy the things they need and pay rent.
Our goal here is to help people from the hospitality industry meet their basic needs until national governments are able to step in and provide more long term support.
We invite all other online retailers to join our alliance, and help support our friends in the hospitality industry when they most need it. Please drop us a line at JoinTheAlliance@masterofmalt.com and be part of the fight back against COVID-19.
Together, we will get through this.

We can't actually ship Reference Series II to you in United States at the moment. We're working on a solution.

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.
Read more about the Reference Series here on our blog.
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!

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.

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