Malt Riot Blended Malt

(Once Upon a Whisky – Glasgow Distillery Virtual Tasting, 25 January 2021). Malt Riot Vat No. 6 Nose: Bready, vanilla, freshly sawed wood, caramel, coconut Palate: Sweet, tropical fruit, malted biscuit, salt & pepper, toffee Finish: Short, milky coffee, cream, chocolate, nutty/marzipan at the finish Very easy to drink. This is blended as a mixer dram, but it works pretty well as a light easy-going whisky in it's own right. I rather liked this as a standard blended whisky, it's a lot more complex and interesting than many standard blends. Came last of the five whiskies, with 0% of the final vote for favourite of the night.

Great story behind this amazing blend. On the very first pass by my nose, from the bottle pre poured, I thought I was smelling a complex red wine. Once poured and settled my nose calmed and I picked up everything I like in a whisky. Taste there’s a vanilla and sweetness there to balance out a bit of mild spice. There an ever so slight hint of smoke and oakyness 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻..... on my second serve I made it as an old fashioned and all those light fruit tones came to the forefront. I can see this becoming a real favourite. If I was comparing it, then black bush, or a less spicy monkey shoulder

Fruktig doft. Ingen sådan smak. Oljig, krämig och väldigt snäll och len. Blir bättre för varje sipp.
