Review No.230. Pig’s Nose
The Pig’s Nose caught my eye a while ago, mainly due to the label design and name. It was originally owned by Whye & Mackay (Dalmore, Jura etc.) and are now owned by Ian MacLeod (Glengoyen & Tamdhu). The reason it is called Pig’s Nose is because it is meant to be a smooth as a Pig’s Nose. I have never touched a pig’s nose but will take their word for it. The change in ownership is interesting to me because I do wonder if the recipe has changed. This blend is made of whiskies no younger than 5 years old and apparently contains high malt content.
