Last year MoM released a lovely version of Inchgower everyone were raving about, and sadly I did not sample that one. This is in fact the first ever Inchgower notes features on Whisky Israel, so let’s party…
Some info before we dive in :This wee dram was distilled on the 30th June , 1982 and was aged in a single refill …

A few month’s ago Master of malt thought of a very interesting idea. let a few bloggers blend their own whisky from a few whisky building blocks, run a wee competition, and bottle the winning blend and make it a real product that will be sold on the master of malt site. A lovely idea it was. Samples were sent …

Need I repeat my saying that peat smoke and sherry go well together, or horribly together, depending on the combination. This time we’re in for a treat. This wee wonder was distilled in December of 1990 and aged in a single Spanish oak butt for 20 years before bottling on the 7th November 2011. Just from the colour you can …

Today we’re off the whisky trail and taking a wee detour to experiment and explore a rather unique spirit from Master of Malt. the Rumbullion. This one is the brain child of Professor Cornelius Ampleforth based on the kind of rich, full-bodied rums the seafaring fraternity would have enjoyed centuries ago.
At the core it a blend of the very finest …

Only a few weeks ago I tasted the 3rd edition and here comes a brand new edition. This one is totally different than the third, with a much more sherry influence (back to the ‘roots’ as the 2nd edition). Let’s give this a try, shall we?
Master of Malt 30 Year Old Speyside (4th Edition) , 40% ABV , £99
Nose: A …

After Tasting the 40 and 50 year olds, it’s high time to test the ‘middle aged’ 30 year old. This one again is a Secret Bottling and differs from the 2nd Edition by replacing the sherried notes with some fresh honey and malt (as quoted from the official tasting notes).

You all know by now it’s Movember time, and what more fitting than tasting this year’s special bottling especially for Movember by the guys at Master of Malt. This little cracker was distilled in September 2002 and bottled in September 2011, this most unusual 9 year old Glenfarclas has been taken from two Oloroso sherry hogshead casks. Not often do …

It’s again this time of year – Movember. Yes, this is not a type, not November but Movember. Like each year Whisky Israel joins this good cause and supports Movember, and so can you.
For those who are not familiar with this, it’s a charity to raise money and fight prostate and testicular cancer. So how can you support this noble …

This one concludes the recent excellent single cask  bottlings released by MoM (North British 20 yo,Cragganmore 20 yo,and the somewhat weird Dalmore 14yo) which i reviewed recently. This one a Dailuaine 27 year old is very interesting, and IMHO, the best of the bunch.Not many Dailuaine single casks bottling out there, so this is double the fun.
Bottled on the 14th …

Time for another of Master of Malts latest single casks.This was distilled on the 22nd January 1991, and was aged in a first fill bourbon barrel for 20 years before bottling in March 2011. A single cask release of 244 bottles, non-chillfiltered, and has not been caramel coloured.
North British is not one of the most famous of distilleries, and is …
