Master of Malt exclusive!
Those folks from Amazon Prime TV show The Three Drinkers have been busy. Not only have Aidy Smith, Helena Nicklin and Colin Hampden-White got the second season of their show ready (premiering in December), they've also got their very own whisky to go with it! Featuring a flavour profile inspired by the locations visited on the show, The Three Drinkers Scotch Whisky Cask Selection No. 1 is a 17 year old blended malt Scotch whisky boasting brilliant notes of fudge, dried fruit and festive spices. No chill-filtration or additional colouring here, and each bottle has been signed by the eponymous trio themselves!
Jamaican ginger cake, stewed apples, melted butter and a touch of floral barley.
Juicy apricot sweetness as it opens, followed by cinnamon, clove and sultana. Very subtle smoke, with a few hints of salted caramel along the way.
Vanilla tablet, almond and Victoria sponge cake.
I wasn't sure what to expect but it's lovely so decided to get some more before it's gone. 17 Year Old + 45% + only 300 bottles + hand signed = you do the math!
great for this price
Colin G Just opened a bottle and it's an excellent value blended malt. Full of flavour. Perfect Christmas drink. Nice bit of spicy wood showing it's 17 years. However, it looks and tastes identically to another 17 yo 45% bottling I have. A Bartels bottling under the labelling 'his excellency'. Only 50 bottles were produced from cask 11. Is this the same barrel MOM? If so, it doesn't seem that the trio had much to do with having a whisky created for their Scottish experience at all. Apologies if I am completely wrong. Either way it's good whisky.
“an attractive, easy drinking and very well-balanced blended malt.” Charles MacLean
