The Exceptional Malt 2nd Edition Blended Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML

The Exceptional Malt 2nd Edition from Sutcliffe & Son is a blend of an extraordinary range of mature single malt casks, including Glenfarclas, Ben Nevis, Balvenie, Kininvie, Glenfiddich, Alt-a’Bhainne, Auchroisk, Glenallachie, Westport, Speyside and (of course) Macallan given Willie Phillips, former managing director of The Macallan distilleries, hand in this blended malt. All the component whiskies of the The Exceptional Malt 2nd Edition are blended and married in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts. Spanning four decades, the component whiskies for each edition of The Exceptional bottlings are selected for their individual (yet complementary) attributes, to create a harmonious whisky of layered complexity and great depth.

The Exceptional Malt 2nd Edition Blended Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Pleasantly meaty at first with Dolly mixture, touches of toastiness (almost peaty for a moment) then into swathes of brandy butter. Orange peel and sweet dried fruit develop.

Palate: Thick and nutty. Peanut skins and some corn notes too with anise spice throughout and gingerbread also.

Finish: Into mixed nuts now, slightly dry and lip smacking before red berries linger.
