Surprisingly much better than their single malt! Nose: Thick and full of promise, also somehow not as blatantly unseasoned as their single malt. The malty roasted peanuts, seeds and chocolate arrive first, followed by a very smooth transition to sweet grainy notes. Bakery fudge, vanilla, toffee and fruits. This is already a better nose than their single malt. Taste: Thick and full-bodied, as expected from a non-chill-filtered whiskey. Definitely not as young as their single malt. This is probably at least 5 years old. Malty notes blend very well with the grainy flavours. Totally better than their single malt. Finish: Medium, hot, sweet and grainy. Bakery fudge and toffee lingers. The malt takes more of a backseat here. Still this is also a remarkably better finish than their single malt. Final thoughts: hands down, I would pick this over their single malt anytime. Considering this is 50/50 malt and grain, plus the fact that it's obviously aged for longer, I really can't think of a single reason why their single malt release exists at all.
