About this bottle

While there had been projects in the early 2000s to build the most northerly distillery in Scotland this never came to fruition. As such, Highland Park still holds this title. However, a new project has followed which allows for the title of most northerly whisky to be aged in Scotland, at least in part. This blended malt Scotch whisky is made of six single malt whiskies aged in first-fill sherry cask on mainland Scotland. It is then extra-matured in new French oak for one winter on the island of Unst, an isle of the Shetland Islands. The name, Muckle Flugga, comes from the eponymous lighthouse next to the warehouse where the whisky ages.

Well at a wine and food show you aren't going to get top whisky so a name like Muckle Flugga shouldn't have been a surprise. It looks suspiciously like a play on words I thought..having shades of similarity to a two word offensive phrase but no its a small rocky island north of Unst in the Shetland Islands. Uh but its a Speyside? Yup but its matured the final year on Unst. Not a bad drop, solid 3 I'd give it. Way better than the Broxburn abomination. First fill ex-bourban.
