But it didn't taste a touch too young, like many others do. I just wish it were bottled at a higher ABV. Yes Red, no age statement. But it didn’t taste a touch too young, like many others do.

"Vatted Malt" is (and always was) perfectedly respectable. (@ 46% ABV NCF!) “Blended Malt” is a desperate term!

I have a couple from them-- Their Pebble Beach 12 yo Speyside Single Malt (no distillery named) and their Jewels of Scotland 22 yo Brora. They're both very good bottlings imho, and notably excellent values. Whatever else Smoking Ember is I'll bet your getting something fair for your dollar.

It's not as quick as in electronics, because of the nature of the beast, but you can see that smoke and peat is the flavor of the 21st century or a least the first couple of decades.

Are they an independent bottler who is widely available here in the States? Sounds good & seems to have everything I like in a big, rich, smoky whisky (especially for only around $40). Yet something else to search out and try. Never had anything from Lombard. Are they an independent bottler who is widely available here in the States?
