Specification: The second bottling 'The Journey' recreating the whisky found in Antartica which has part of Ernest Shackletons Expedition to Antartica in 1907 aboard the ship, Nimrod. Expertly recreated by head distillery Richard Paterson of Whyte & Mackay. Presented in an authentic bottle of that time. The Journey Edition of Mackinlay's takes the same base of single malts used to create the original Discovery Edition and, still inspired by the original recipe, builds on them to create a noticeably different dram - a more elegant and refined interpretation.
Specification: From the Japanese distillers Nikka comes their blended whisky, the Nikka Blended Whisky. Yep, that's it. A simple name, a minimalist bottle, a refined label - the focus here is on the expertly-made blend, brimming with intense fruit and vanilla notes, all very well balanced. Excellent stuff.
Specification: Jim Murray scored different batches of Pure Malt Black with 92 and 95 points respectively. This is a great dram, a blended malt made up of whisky from Nikka's Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries. Full of fruit, balanced oak, peat and toffee.
