This is the last of the Method & Madness bottles I picked up on clearance, and as I’ve mentioned in previous reviews, all of them are worth it on clearance. I actually prefer the oaky, wood shavings character of the Single Grain to the vanilla apple sweetness of the Single Malt, but they’re both pretty good at half price. My feelings about the line are similar with this the Single Pot Still. In other words, if I had paid $74.99 for this, I’d be disappointed, but I didn’t. I paid $37.50, and this is fantastic at that price. Even at $50 this might be good, but it’s just a bit much for $75. They’re making intriguing whiskies that are just a little too expensive for my taste.
As far as how it drinks, this seems to combine the best of the Single Grain and Single Malt. There’s a nice oak aroma with an underlying vanilla sweetness with a cinnamon coating. The palate is apple pie all the way with an apple sweetness and a doughy quality with clove coming through on a medium finish. I was saving this for last because this is supposed to be the best of three, but whereas I gave the Single Grain a higher rating for surprising me, this one was supposed to be the best of bunch and it lives up to that. I probably won’t pick up any of these again, but I have one bottle of Single Malt left and three of Single Grain because at half-off, who wouldn’t stock up on these?
