Maiden's Blend - Cask #7 - Collaboration with Jim Moir

For collectors and whisky enthusiasts alike, Vintage Bottlers has commissioned famous artist Jim Moir to create exclusive, individual and truly vibrant paintings for all four of the Maiden’s Blend's limited edition labels. Each label features a stunning depiction of a native Scottish bird, each intricately painted to reflect Scotland’s rich natural heritage.

These exceptional whiskies were hand-picked for their harmonious balance of flavours and characteristics and expertly blended at birth. This rare blended spirit was laid to rest in a 1st fill Sherry Butt for 25 years, where nature took over and the stars truly aligned.

To match this fantastic whisky, there are 25 limited edition, signed prints of this amazing painting by world-famous artist Jim Moir available to collect (including certificates of authenticity). These are available as part of our exclusive Maiden’s Blend Art Print collection.

Colour: Burnished gold.

Nose: Treacle toffee studded with toasted Brazil nuts.

Palate: This boasts a sumptuously smooth, velvety base of nougat confectionary. Within the smoke that floats above it, there is a pronounced cereal element.

Finish: The gently warming smoothness continues with a marked return of the toffee of the nose.

Verdict: Not perhaps as complex as #6, but certainly equally rewarding. It is rich and flavoursome from first to last and will pleasantly surprise any sceptics who have previously wondered about the wisdom of blending malts long- established in their own right. A perfect pre-dinner malt.
