Blended Malt 2009 – 9 Year Old – Single Cask Nation is a rare and collectible Scotch whisky, expertly crafted by Single Cask Nation, renowned for its precision in bottling single cask and limited-edition whiskies. This expression combines the accessibility of a blended malt with the intensity and individuality of a single cask selection, making it an exceptional addition to any whisky enthusiast’s collection.
Distilled in 2009, this 9-year-old blended malt showcases carefully selected single malts from multiple distilleries, harmoniously matured to produce balanced, complex flavours. Unlike grain-influenced blends, this whisky is made exclusively from malted barley, preserving the integrity, depth, and character of each component.
On the nose, it presents dried fruits, gentle oak spice, caramel, honeyed malt, and subtle coastal notes, reflecting both the cask’s influence and the natural malt sweetness. The palate is smooth, rich, and layered, revealing flavours of toasted barley, citrus peel, light vanilla, and soft dark chocolate, underpinned by a delicate maritime salinity that adds character without overwhelming.
The finish is medium to long, leaving lingering notes of soft oak, malt sweetness, subtle spice, and gentle warmth. The 9-year maturation ensures the whisky has developed complexity while remaining approachable, making it ideal for tasting sessions, collector enjoyment, or educational study of blended malt development.
This bottling is particularly suited for those interested in single cask blended malt exploration, offering insight into how carefully selected malts from different distilleries can create a harmonized yet distinctive flavour profile. It is perfect for sipping neat, with a touch of water, or as part of a curated whisky tasting flight.
