Product description
The Cooper's Choice is a range of single malt and single grain whiskies from the portfolio of The Vintage Malt Whisky Company, founded in 1992 by Brian Crook.
The Cooper's Choice followed a year later and pays tribute to the coopers whose role in Scotch whisky is often underestimated. The Miltonduff 10 year old presented here is the 2021 'Cooper's Choice' - distilled in May 2011 and aged in first-fill bourbon cask no. 800531; bottled at cask strength (56.5% abv) and non-chill-filtered in an edition of 228 bottles. Based in Speyside, Miltonduff Distillery produces 5.8 million litres of distillate per year, the vast majority of which is consumed by Ballantine's blends.

Finish: medium long, with notes of vanilla, sweet bread, honey, toffee, a touch of cinnamon, and oak.
