This Blended Malt is distilled by UNKNOWN in Speyside.

Tasting notes:

The name does not fit the whisky. There is no monster here. Sweet peat with light smoke and floral notes are predominant on the nose; the palate is treated to soft heather with a significant presence of incense; the finish is long soft and lovely. A great dram at an excellent price.
