Master of Malt Launches 'Whisky 4 Movember' - a Secret, Charity Bottling

Posted on: Monday, 2 November 2009, 12:11 CST

CROWBOROUGH, England, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Movember is a global charity raising awareness and funds for men's health issues whilst having a spot of fun along the way. Every November, teams show their support by growing Marvellous Moustaches and putting on events to raise funds.

Master of Malt's newest release - Whisky 4 Movember is available with 5 different, limited edition labels, each featuring a famous moustache style:

No. 1 - The Handlebar

No. 2 - The Dali

No. 3 - The Chevron

No. 4 - The Pencil

No. 5 - The Walrus

The whisky is a vatting (mixture) of fine single malt whiskies from the Isle of Orkney, an Island located off the north coast of Scotland. The minimum age of these whiskies is eleven years old, although much of the whisky used in the vatting is older and more complex.

Orkney contains only two distilleries, the coastal and intricate Scapa, and the world famous Highland Park, renowned for its deliciously honeyed whiskies.

The popular whisky review and blog site caskstrength.net loved the whisky, describing it as follows:

Nose: Layers of sweet cereal, honey and chopped hazelnuts, followed by a very light and zesty citrus fruit/diced apple and lovely hints of fresh honeysuckle. Really inviting and heady.

Palate: The sweetness continues with a huge hit of fruity malt loaf, buttery candy notes and more of those chopped nuts. The whiskies certainly feel a lot older than the 11 years listed and the rich mouth feel and oiliness ensures that this is a highly moreish dram. A little licorice and some further floral notes develop as the palate dries.

Finish: Lovely and juicy, with a long resonance, hints of dark treacle, stewed apple and sweet malted barley.

Overall: At under 30 pounds Sterling, this is an exceptional drinker and, coupled with the fact that the profits are going to a hugely good cause, means it is a bottling you should grab asap.

The super-limited-edition Whisky4Movember bottling will only run to 984 bottles in total, and is available for only 29.95 pounds. All profits from Master of Malt's Whisky4Movember will be donated directly to the Movember Charity.
