|
While scanning the offerings at an LCBO in Burlington, Ontario I came across a pile of these bottles in the single malt section. As many of you know, this is actually considered a spirit drink distilled from malted barley and is not yet a whisky let alone a single malt. The interesting thing is that apparently in the UK, these sold like hot cakes and apparently are sold out. The bottle is only 200ml in size and is 50%abv. I picked one up and it will remain unopened for now. Has anyone sampled it yet? Comments?

| Glenglassaugh had a few of these sngle malt spirit releases, i tasted a few at a whisky event a while back, they were interesting to taste. I think they released these to promote the brand and to raise money while waiting on stock to come of age. |

Hi Grant. Makes good sense.
