Tasting Notes
These notes summarise published descriptions, rather than a tasting of this bottle. Pernod Ricard highlights a sweet, smoky overall character; Japanese retailer Mukawa describes the 1L expression as relatively light and clean on the palate.
- Nose: A separate aroma breakdown has not been verified for this 1L bottling.
- Palate: Relatively light and clean, according to Mukawa's description, within the brand's sweet and smoky style.
- Finish: No verified bottle-specific finish note is available.
A Scottish Blend with a Long History
Pernod Ricard dates the creation of Something Special to 1912 and identifies Speyside malt and grain whiskies as part of its blend. This is the standard Something Special expression; it should not be confused with the separately named Legacy release or a bottle carrying an age statement.

The 7-Day Window
If your item is damaged or incorrect, please reach out to us within 7 days of signing for your package. After 7 days, we unfortunately won't be able to process a return or exchange.
Item Condition
If we sent you the wrong item by mistake, please make sure it stays unopened and in its original condition. (If your item arrived broken, just safely take some clear photos for us instead!)
Refused or Undeliverable Packages
Any packages that are refused by the customer upon delivery, or returned to sender due to an incorrect/incomplete address provided by the customer, are subject to a return shipping and restocking fee. This fee will be deducted from your refund.
In addition, original shipping costs are strictly non-refundable for refused packages. If a package is abandoned or destroyed by the carrier due to a customer's refusal to pay local customs duties, no refund will be issued.
