Malt Tasting: Braes o’ Glenlivet 21 Year Old – Single Cask (Master of Malt)

January 31, 2013 by Gary Leave a Comment

Malt Tasting: Braes o’ Glenlivet 21 Year Old - Single Cask (Master of Malt)

Malt Tasting: Braes o’ Glenlivet 21 Year Old – Single Cask (Master of Malt)


Braes of Glenlivet
has had a bit of a chequered history.
It is famous for being the highest distillery in Scotland (350m, 1148 feet in old money) and is based in southern Speyside (near Glenlivet).

Built in 1974, closed in 2002, re-opened in 2008 and also re-named to Braeval along the way.

Whew! Quite a journey …

This bottling was distilled on the 23rd August 1991, matured for 21 years in a first-fill bourbon barrel and popped into 251 bottles on the 28th November 2012.

It is an interesting malt, delicate and quite subtle.
A nice change from some of the slam, dunk malts out there.

Tasting Notes


Braes o’ Glenlivet 21 Year Old – Single Cask
(Master of Malt)
Nose: No powerful spirit ‘hit’, just a pleasant sweet and creamy aroma of things to come.

Palate: Sweet, buttery, cake mixture with a hint of vanilla.

Finish: Smooth as silk, creamy, short spice hit.

Overall: Rather a mild dram, not too sweet or too spicy. Saying that it becomes rather morish after a few sips … then the sample ran out!

70cl, 47.40%
£64.95

Many thanks to Master Of Malt for this sample.

Malt Tasting: Springbank 19 Year Old Cask 129 – Single Cask (Master of Malt)

January 30, 2013 by Gary Leave a Comment

Springbank 19 Year Old Cask 129 - Single Cask (Master of Malt)

Springbank 19 Year Old Cask 129 – Single Cask (Master of Malt)

What were you doing on 7th May 1993?

Or for that matter 27th November 2012?

Well, the Springbank guys were distilling cask 129 on the former date and filling 221 bottles of the glorious stuff on the latter date.

So, as I sit here on this very windy and rainy night sampling this malt I was hoping I wouldn’t be disappointed.

I needn’t have worried, I can’t think of a better way to see a stormy night thru!

It’s part of Master of Malt’s own Single Cask range and offers exceptional malts at very acceptable prices.

Tasting Notes

Springbank 19 Year Old
Single Cask 129
(Master of Malt)
Nose: Lovely pungent Bracken and wood coupled with a sweet aroma.

Palate: Bit of oil on the tongue, syrupy sultanas and peppery spice.

Finish: Sweet treacle, smoke with a fiery pepperyness and a slight hint of tanin dryness.

Overall: A formidable malt. Strong, tasty and full of complex flavours.

Many thanks to Master Of Malt for this sample.

Malt Tasting: Invergordon – Batch 1 (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)

January 25, 2013 by Gary Leave a Comment

Malt Tasting: Invergordon - Batch 1 (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)

Malt Tasting: Invergordon – Batch 1 (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)

This is the final malt whisky sampling for the moment (Boo!) from That Boutique-y Whisky Company, but if I’m a good boy I might get a few more in the future! 😉

Anyway, this one is the Invergordon – Batch 1 which is available from Master Of Malt and has a release figure of 252 numbered bottles.

Invergordon is a grain whisky and there’s not too much of it about. But all is not lost as the That Boutique-y Whisky Company people have taken the best of the best of each year to produce a formidable whisky.

That Boutique-y Whisky Company has also become famous for it’s quirky labelling system and this one is no exception.

It boasts an illustration of a Coffey still which is one of the features of the distillery. (Also called a continuous still. It is often used to produce single grain whisky such as the Invergordon. It enables a constant process of distillation and the ability to produce a higher concentration of alcohol.)

But if you look at the label closely you’ll see that it all is not quite as it seems!

Tasting Notes


Invergordon – Batch 1
(That Boutique-y Whisky Company)
Nose: I agree with MOM here, creamy caramel with a hint of sweet spices.

Palate: Gorgeous syrupy texture, treacle or maybe black molasses with the beginnings of some spice and pepper.

Finish: Spicy and peppery coupling with toffee caramel. It all slips down easily!

Overall: A superb dram with a distinctive flavour and texture. Be mean with this one, tell your friends it’s all gone!

50cl, 41.60%
£59.95

Many thanks to Master Of Malt for this sample.
