The Whiskey Lab Uncharted Whisky Co. Thunderstruck 7 year 700ml

The Whisky Lab Uncharted Whisky Co. Thunderstruck 7 Year is a single-cask Scotch whisky bottled under an undisclosed-distillery release name, part of the Uncharted Whisky Co. series from independent bottler The Whisky Lab. As with the rest of the series, the source distillery is deliberately kept off the label so the whisky is judged on the glass rather than the name behind it. Seven years is on the younger end for a single malt, which typically means more of the distillery's raw, grain-driven new-make character comes through before heavier oak influence takes over. It's a pick for Scotch drinkers who enjoy the blind-tasting format the Uncharted series is built around.

How to drink The Whisky Lab Thunderstruck 7 Year

Taste it neat first — at seven years the spirit character should still be fairly bright, so a splash of water helps if you want to open it up rather than mute what's there. Try guessing the source region before checking any notes, the whole point of an undisclosed release like this.
