About this bottle

The inaugural limited edition Private Reserve collection includes four bottlings with rare cask finishes, this being one of them. Master Blender Alex Thomas crafted this single malt from 100% unpeated barley, triple distilled. After a minimum of 10 years of aging, this release was finished in plum brandy casks. It is bottled at 92 proof and became available on December 4, 2023, through Flaviar and select retailers across the U.S.

Why there's no score

We have 1 rating for this bottle, and we don't publish an average until 30 people have weighed in.

A handful of ratings can average to anything, and a 4.8 built on three of them looks exactly like a 4.8 built on three hundred. Rather than print a number we can't stand behind, we leave it blank until the count is there. The critic score above comes from a panel rather than the crowd, so it stands on its own.
