Release of Muckety-Muck 25 Year Old

Furthermore. Muckety-Muck 25-Year-Old is the latest release in the Orphan Barrel series from Diageo. Which highlights limit quantities of very old whiskeys heroically rescue from the mouldering corners of various warehouses. Consequently, many Orphan Barrel releases (although not all) have been bourbons. Not only but also Muckety Muck is something different: a single grain whisky from the Port Dundas Distillery. An enormous grain distillery that operates in Glasgow and closes its doors in 2010.

First. Grain whisky is a Scottish whisky category that refers to any whisky distill from a mash that isn’t 100% malted barley. In practice, it’s usually distilles on massive continuous column stills from mostly wheat as well as corn, with a small amount of malted barley. In the same way it can be single (the product of one distillery), or blend (the product of multiple distilleries). The way drinkers most frequently encounter it is as a constituent in blended Scotch whiskies, which are a mixture of malt and grain whisky.

Serious Scotch drinkers sometimes look down on grain whisky as inferior to malt—milder, less complex, made primarily to stretch more flavorful malts and keep costs down. The reputation isn’t entirely unearned. Still, grain whiskies (especially old ones) can be delicious, with dessert-y flavors like cereal, pastries, custard, and toffee. Appealingly, they can also be much less expensive than comparably old single malts.

The first Muckety-Muck release, which came out in 2020, was 24 years old. This one is a year older, and half a percentage point stronger.
