Nestville Whisky Master Blender 2018 9yo is a special limited edition 9yo blended whisky. To achieve the perfect harmony of whisky flavour, we blended the spirit from four selected oak casks from our archive stock that were filled for maturation in late 2008 and 2009. Each bottle is original with its hand-written serial number, the numbers of the casks from which it was bottled, the date the casks were filled, the date the bottle was filled and the signature of the head technologist Ing. Lucie Jakubíková PhD., who is behind the birth of this unique whisky. The whisky filling was selected from four prepared samples by an expert committee. Among the members is the author of the world-famous book Whisky Bible, Jim Murray, whose signature is on each bottle. This limited edition Master Blender 2018 was launched in 1,475 bottles at 46% ABV.
The 2008 vintage was a grain whiskey with a high proportion of wheat and rye and was originally matured in 700L French oak casks and used sherry casks. The 2009 vintage, which we used in this blended whiskey, was supplemented with corn in the raw material, and new 200 L American white oak barrels were used for maturation. The malt used in both vintages was lightly smoked with hardwood smoke and dried at higher temperatures, which caused it to partially caramelize. We left part of the mixture to mature in a Tokaj wine barrel before the end, which gave the whiskey a subtle fruity charm and accentuated its sweetness.
This whiskey is sold out.
