merry murree

finally got myself a swig of that murree's millennium reserve. not the 21 year old but the 12 year old during my last trip to karachi.
my mate had just enough for me to take on swig while he preciously kept the rest and offered me a selection of other whiskies. but what a swig it was.
all said and done, its a rather pleasantly smooth whisky with just hints of lingering spice and not much peatiness.
the green-gold liquid is 43 percent alcohol by volume and matured in oak casks after being brewed in traditional pot stills. it is probably a whisky that had stood the test of taste and time without the pretensions of hints of a variety of influences.
what one would call a decent dram.
and one that is quite hard to find - metaphorically and physically - as murree is the only single malt and whisky and beer producer in the muslim world. and its beverages are not for export.
so, if you have the time, and the inclination, head for karachi for some decent drams and good food.
