This one's a gem, a real shame it's discontinued. Single Malt delivers a plush, boozy plum experience that resonates with those who appreciate a sophisticated, warm scent, though some find its projection lacking. If you can hunt down a bottle, you're in for a treat; it's rightly earned its cult status.

A budget read of By Kilian's Single Malt - that boozy whisky-and-plum gourmand-woody with its dry cedar, ambery tolu and sweet vanilla. Malt Amber captures the plum-through-and-smoke-in-the-drydown character well, with PP wearers calling it very close, though it leans sweeter and the refined whisky nuance reads a touch flatter. A genuinely convincing boozy cold-weather scent for the money.
