"Single Malt & Grain"?!? That seems a bit over the top. If its is a single malt mixed with grain thay could just call it a blend. Or if both the malt and grain are "singles" from the same distillery, Mönchguter Hofbrennerei, then I guess its a single blend. "Distilling since 2007". A young whisky I presume, but at least its unchill-filtered, ahem, "unfiltered" it says. Matured in both bourbon and sherry casks. The color is golden, no shine. It smells sweet, vanilla, custard cream, wheat, floured sugar, marshmallows, more candy than whisky it seems. The taste is light, marshmallows, vanilla, butterscotch, cinnamon, meringue, custard, sweet malty notes, cereal, syrup. Utter blend style! The finish is sweet on sweet on sweet. Oh yes, this is batch#2 and it was bottled in 2012, 5 years old then. I bet this would climb higher on my rating if it was at a higher strength.
Serve chilled on a hot summers day: 5
Next tasting: Whiskey from the US of A
