The Island Blended Malt Scotch Whisky MDB "The Mossburn Cask Bill No 1 ex-Bourbon Barrels" is a unique blend of single malt Scotch whiskies distilled on Scottish islands. Bottled by Mossburn - Distillers & Blenders in 2018, this remarkable whisky exemplifies Mossburn's expertise in cask experimentation and their dedication to highlighting the distinctive qualities of regional malts. Initially aged in American ex-bourbon oak casks, it undergoes a secondary maturation in ex-bourbon barrels with toasted, virgin European-oak cask heads, adding an extra layer of spice and smoky depth.
The whisky blend is composed of 1/8 heavily toasted European oak, 2/8 ex-bourbon American oak cask staves from the first fill, and 5/8 American oak staves previously used for other whiskies. This meticulous combination results in a harmonious blend of peat, soft woodiness, and sweet spices like vanilla. On the palate, you'll find a generous peat presence, rich smoke, and rounded soft woodiness, all accented by a patina of sweet spices. The finish reveals a colorful array of fruity and floral notes, red fruits, and tender, toasted cereals. Bottled without coloring or chill-filtration, this whisky stands as a truly authentic and unique expression of island-style malt whiskies.
