Nose: vanilla, subtle oak, moderate to low aroma, cream Palate: echoes the aroma — a bit subdued in intensity for a 24-year-old spirit, I had hoped for more substance. Caramel notes are present but veiled. It’s not terrible, but it’s not worth the price.

About this bottle
Part of Diageo's Orphan Barrel Whisky Co. portfolio, Muckety-Muck Single Grain 24 Year is a single grain whisky from the now-closed Port Dundas Distillery (1810-2010). It aged for 24 years. The distillery once housed a piggery where draff from mashing fed the pigs. The bottle features Muckety-Muck, a prize-winning boar, with six label variations showing his tartan sash in red, green, blue, gray, yellow, or orange.

A good whiskey. The $250 price tag is a bit steep, but that's expected for Orphan Barrel. Knowing that the distiller is no longer active adds to the enjoyment.
Wow, this was not what I expected at all! Definitely worth the price of $70, and I got a good view of downtown Houston.
Baked sugar, subtle caramel notes, and a persistent dried fruit finish.
I have sampled lighter single grains, and this one seems a bit overwhelmed for its age.
