Every once in a while, an idea comes along that is beautiful in its simplicity. Such ideas are few and far between, which is why we appreciate them even more. Enter Master of Malt, an online whisky purveyor with one of the greatest selections on either side of the Atlantic. Simply put, Master of Malt has compiled a terrific collection of whisky that reflects a genuine passion for its work. Despite having only been around since 1985, MoM has established itself as an authority on whisky both as a retailer and an independent bottler, no small task given how seriously true aficionados take their Scotch.
Since its humble beginnings in a small boutique shop in west Kent, Scotland, MoM has become the indisputable online source for not only Scotch (broken down by region, naturally), but also Irish, Japanese, and even American whiskey. Such a vast selection, however, can overwhelm the average consumer. Unsure of which peated delight to order? Master of Malt has created ‘Drinks by the Dram,’ their contribution to the realm of great ideas. Drinks by the Dram allows the purchaser to order 3cL samples of select whiskys and spirits, enabling the buyer to ‘try before you buy.’ Whether or not you have any intent of buying a full bottle, it’s a fantastic way to enjoy spirits without the full financial commitment. Hop on the MoM website and get your own box of red wax-sealed drams immediately.
