For over forty years, Master of Malt has sought out and bottled the world's most remarkable spirits — from legendary distilleries to hidden gems. Each limited-edition release is chosen by a small band of passionate whisky enthusiasts for its character, rarity, and story.
Distilled at Ben Nevis, this expression spent 26 years maturing in a refill bourbon hogshead before finishing in a rum barrique. The rum cask brought tropical notes of fruit alongside the vibrant barley at its core. And, as always, this expression was bottled without chill filtration and at natural colour.

Master of Malts Tasting Notes
Nose: Juicy! Barley water, ripe fruit funk, and yeasty bread dough. Apples and pears are joined by tropical notes of tangy pineapple, creamy lemon curd, and Madeira cake.
Palate: Soft, creamy, sweet, and balanced. A fizz of sugary sherbet bursts through at the start, opening the way for bright notes of papaya, melon, and pear.
Finish: Fresh, fruity, juicy, with vibrant barley, buttery oak, gentle spice, a hint of liquorice, a floral touch of Parma Violets, and lingering creamy depth.
