From Master of Malt
2017 vintage single malt whisky from the Annandale Distillery, released under the Man O’Sword name, meaning this is a peaty number. Matured in a single shaved, toasted, and re-charred cask that previously held red wine, and bottled up at 60.5% ABV in 2022.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose: Charred marzipan, nutty praline, pipe tobacco, and plenty of peat smoke.
Palate: Charred oak and hints of summer fruits lead to vegetal smoke, with wafts of vanilla and coconut flakes.
Finish: Fiery ginger arrives, warming things up while vanilla and plums balance vegetal barley.
