Master of Malt exclusive!
A rather secretive single malt here from That Boutique-y Whisky Company, matured for 22 years before the Boutique-y bunch bottled it up! This one was produced at an undisclosed distillery in the Highland region, but if you think your palate is up to it, feel free to take a guess as you enjoy a dram. Oh, and there's a rather familiar face on the label - and a secret face hidden within his beard. A tiny beard monster, perhaps...?
Batch 1 is a release of 220 bottles.
‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company’ bottles single malts, single grains and bourbons from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blended malts and blends. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels.
Millionaire's shortbread with salted caramel, a hint of cinnamon and clove, some waxy citrus peels.
More buttery shortbread notes, joined by orange, liquorice, softly savoury oak and toasted nuts.
Heather honey, light touches of cigar box and walnut, orange peels once again.

It's a good, well matured whisky with lots of ripe gooseberries and ischoklad. I would buy more, but it's at least twice as expensive as would be reasonable for such a whisky, even in "modern times".
It's a shame so many distilleries want to hide the source of liquid nowadays. Tthe broking market is necessary and exists, why not take a bit more pride and ownership of the liquid? Work with the independent bottlers who, presumably, are a good source of revenue... However it does mean we get to see the lovely Boutique-y Dave and his cold-calling beard monster on a label :)
