Master Of Malt – New Malt Whisky Samples!

January 27, 2012 by Gary Leave a Comment

Master Of Malt's Sample Collection!

The ‘Chaps’ at Master Of Malt have excelled themselves again with a great new set of malt whisky samples (plus one honourary Vodka.)

To be honest I had to wrestle the parcel from the Postie who seemed hell bent on taking the sample package back to the depot. I think they have a nose for these kind of things!

Anyway, after a half-mile chase down the street in stockinged feet I was able to lay claim to a fine set of new samples from the Master Of Malt guys.

I eagerly ripped open the packaging (my strength knows no bounds when motivated) and here’s what my trembling hands revealed:-

	Bunnahabhain 20 Year Old 1990 – Single Cask
	Inchgower 29 Year Old – Single Cask
	St Isidore
	Besmoked Vodka

After tasting the samples (in a controlled scientific environment) I shall blog again with my taste buds results.

I dream about days like this …
