I reviewed this malt about four months ago - here is a re-post of my original review - I would not change my current assessment of this one iota:"My friend Rick Culver came by earlier today, and popped…

This is a reasonably new release entitled “Canadian Rockies.” There are two expressions from this brand, a 10 yo and a 21 yo. This is the 10 yo. I was excited to find a sample of this at my local booze…

Today we have a bottle from Mast of Malt's Single Cask Series, all of which are cask strength, non-coloured and non-chill-filtered. This refill sherry hogshead was laid down on June 13 1996 and bottled…
