The label uses crushed barley paper made from a by-product of whisky production. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at 46%. (Bottle size 750ml)

A brilliant blend!

"Fruity, smoky and with just enough drinkable complexity to make you want to keep pouring. A high malt content and sherry cask usage results in a dram that provides outrageous value in today’s market and certainly rivals malt! Balance galore and Black label for who?!"

Alex W. (5/5)

An introduction to peat

"A very light peat taste at the end a really nice suprise. Bought for a bit of fun and it's become a favourite on my shelf after tonight."

Marc (5/5)

Beautiful and well Rounded

"For R495, its a great value for money buy. Creamy, notes of honey and gentle smoke on the finish. Well rounded and great for daily drinking."

Kudzai K. (5/5)

Splendid dram

"Great value for money whisky that will give some single malts a run for their money."

Valentine (5/5)

Bang for buck

"Punches way above its price point!"

Frank T. (4/5)

Competes with malts at the same price!

"Wonderful dram - really well balanced, nice richness, some smoke and some sherry. Easily competes with single malts in the same price category. You always here blends can be as good, this is the hard-to-find evidence."

Obe Y. (5/5)

Lovely stuff

"Really enjoyed this unique blended whisky, would be great if they expanded this range in the future. Finish is quite short but that's the only slight negative I have. Well worth the money."
