Nose: vanilla, light wood, medium-low intensity, cream Taste: similar to the nose — a bit flat as far as intensity for a 24 year, wish it had a little more body to it. Caramel notes hidden throughout. Not bad at all, but overpriced.
Muckety-Muck Single Grain 24 Year
About this bottle
Muckety-Muck Single Grain 24 Year is a release under Diageo's Orphan Barrel Whisky Co. portfolio. This single grain whisky was distilled at Port Dundas Distillery (1810-2010) and aged for 24 years before bottling. During the distillery's most successful periods, it had a piggery on-site and the draff leftover from the mashing process was fed to the pigs. The pig on the bottle is named Muckety-Muck, a prize-winning pig that had the breeders keen to use him in their endeavors. There are six variations for the bottle label with the color of the tartan sash worn by Muckety-Muck in either red, green, blue, gray, yellow or orange.

Good whisky. $250 price tag is bit high, but expected for Orphan Barrel. Knowing that whoever distilled this whisky is no longer distilling makes it taste better
Wow this was not what I expect at all! Definitely worth the price of $70 and I got a good view of downtown Houston.
Baked sugar, light caramel notes, and a dried fruit finish all the way through
I've tried lighter single grains as this feels a bit overpowered for its age.
Bad review here from Distiller. This is better than the score given.
