The Malt Cask

Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année 2017 à tous! I am back in France for some family time during the end of year festivities. This is the reason why I have not been posting that much recently.

Just look at website such as Master of Malt  or  The Whisky Exchange  and you'll understand what I mean. My dad actually has the 10 year old too, which I will try to review as well, if I find the time. The Glen Deveron 15 is bottled at 40% and is more than probably chill-filtered. The colour is a rich golden but E150 is very likely to have been added. Nose: Citrus and mineral with some sweetness too. Honey and chalk. Bizarrely, it reminds...
