Samaroli 2008 Blended Malt WhiskeyWhat an impressive dram. With just 600 bottles produced, this scotch is a blend of single malts from three different Speyside distilleries, Glenallachie, Macduff, and Glentauchers. This is the bottle that everyone learning about the magic of Samaroli malts should start with. Aromas of fresh grass and lilacs; a palate showing notes of spice and balsamic; finally, a finish of freshly grated ginger. Life's good.
