Conclusion: Well, that was exciting. This batch either changed quite a bit from two and a half years ago, or I got to appreciate it a lot better. Up that mark!
More info: This blended malt is a selection of 27 of the finest casks of Kininvie, Glenfiddich and Balvenie. All these distilleries are owned by the family of William Grant & Sons. The largest percentage (about 90-95%) of this blended malt is rumoured to be Kininvie, teaspooned with Balvenie and Glenfiddich.
