The New Master of Malt Whisky Liqueur
Master of Malt have created a Whisky Liqueur for single malt Scotch whisky drinkers.
Master of Malt’s Whisky Liqueur is made exclusively with all-sherry matured, 10 year old single malt whisky from a very famous Speyside distillery. It is then flavoured with many Christmassy spices including cinnamon and cloves and also includes two kinds of orange peel.
The result?
A rich and complex liqueur aimed at the discerning single malt whisky connoisseur.
Master of Malt’s Sales Director, Ben Ellefsen, described the thinking behind the new venture: “We wanted to go against the grain and say “here’s a liqueur that a whisky connoisseur can enjoy”. Our new liqueur is made with all natural ingredients, based around an absolutely superb 10 year old Speyside single malt whisky, which was matured solely in sherry casks. The flavours we added were chosen to complement the Scotch and bring it to a new level.
This is in contrast to many of the mass-marketed liqueurs which use huge levels of sweetness and flavourings to hide the lack of complexity in the (often cheap, young, grain) whiskies they are based on.”
“Our new Whisky Liqueur is delicious neat or in a Rusty Nail cocktail, but we heartily recommend you have it in an ice-filled tumbler, garnished with a freshly cut strip of orange zest…”
You can buy Master of Malt 10 Year Old Speyside Whisky Liqueur here for £26.95.

It is made exclusively with 10 year old, all-sherry matured Speyside Single Malt.
