Blended Scotch Whisky 42, 1976-2019, Oloroso Finish, 46.2% – The Maltman

Posted on 22 February 2022 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

This Blended Scotch Whisky consists of Ben Nevis, Clynelish, Teaninich, Macduff, Dailuaine and Invergordon. Not the least interesting names in the business! Also, while this states having had an Oloroso finish, what didn’t really fit the title, is that that … Continue reading →

Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 27, 1992-2020, Refill Sherry Butt, 42% – The Maltman

Posted on 13 October 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I don’t really try whiskies from the Maltman that often. It’s one of those bottlers that I know exists and releases rather high-scoring drams, most of the time. But when push comes to shove I often have to make a … Continue reading →

Dailuaine 13, 2007-2020, PX Sherry Finish, 52% – Maltman

Posted on 12 August 2021 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

The Maltman is one of those bottlers that showed up about a decade ago, at least on my radar they did. Since then they’ve been putting out quality whisky and aren’t shy of using good sherry casks. It seems there … Continue reading →

A Highland Distillery 10yo, 2010-2020, Sherry Butt 2090, 54.8% – The Maltman

Secret Speyside 2007-2018, 10yo, 55.2% – The Maltman

Posted on 9 December 2019 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I’ve been told this bottling is a ten year old Macallan, but with how rare these things have become over the last couple of years I’m not 100% sure about that. Still, there’s a distinct possibility for it to be … Continue reading →

Ben Nevis 21, 46%, 1990-2012 – The Maltman

Posted on 29 August 2013 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I feel like I’ve tortured Frank (formerly from the MeWhisky blog) by not reviewing this earlier. He sent me this somewhere in (I think) February and I let him know right away that it was a damn fine whisky. Then … Continue reading →
