Release Notes
Bottle #172 of 465 filled in August of 2023. 50% Malt, 50% Grain, 50% ABV. Blended by TPF master blender Jim Murray.
In this time of the single malt there is a temptation to regard a blend with a touch of disdain-the poor member of a noble family. Yet it is anything but. The blend of grain whisky and malt is a creation offering myriad possibilities.
Òran is, unashamedly, an old school blend - one recognizable to whisky lovers in the heyday of blended whisky some 100 years ago. Where the grain and malt contents are created separately but ultimately act as the perfect foil for the other. The objective is delicate complexity and finely tuned balance.I trust that you will find it here.

3rd Party Tasting Notes
Nose: Has the lightest of smoky signatures which heralds the frutier elements.
Taste: Beautifully mouth-filling, the delicate smoke and the lightest shade of grape combine for a sum much bigger than the parts. The malts and grains form juicy layers through which the spices easily permeate. Astonishingly mouth-watering and fresh, despite some obvious age at work.
Finish: There is a distinct chocolatey feel with dull grape and teaming grassy malts.

Scotch whisky has always held an important place at our family gatherings. Long before I was able to enjoy whisky myself, I watched my brothers, uncles, father, and grandfather toast life’s achievements with it. Without even tasting whiskey I had a passion and interest in it. That exposure inspired me to found The Perfect Fifth in 2019.
As I explored the world of Scotch whisky, I noticed a serious lack of stellar single cask bottlings. Our company bridges that gap by sourcing the best quality whisky from all over Scotland. We don’t limit ourselves to any one region or distillery, we bring the best of every Scotch to you, one cask at a time. By seeking to exhibit a unique and niche view of these incredible distilleries, we are able to deliver nothing but remarkable single cask Scotch whisky -the forgotten hidden gems left to mature even longer in the corners of award-winning distilleries.
After I began uncovering these whiskeys, I turned to someone I could trust, someone I had seen passionately enjoying whisky many times before -my brother Ben. Together, we travel Scotland sampling cask after cask until we the few worthy to be The Perfect Fifth. We then carefully deliver them to the market in incredibly curated limited single cask releases.
And thus, as our story and brand began with family, we know so too will be its final chapter—enjoyed around the table during the holidays, toasting at an engagement, celebrating a birth, and all of life’s accomplishments. We look forward to sharing them with you! Cheers
