Master of MaltAn English Distillery

This is a 12-year-old English single malt whisky bottled from a single bourbon cask at a robust 54.0% ABV. For a novice drinker, that means it comes from one individual cask rather than a larger batch, and it is likely to show a more distinct and concentrated character.

Maturation in a bourbon cask often brings notes associated with vanilla, oak, and gentle sweetness, while the age suggests a whisky with some developed depth alongside fresh malt character. Its higher strength means it may benefit from a few drops of water when tasting.
