The impactful palate combined blackcurrant jelly and rhubarb pie with dark chocolate, grated coconut and spun sugar; then iced gingerbread, black pepper, aniseed, clove and wine-stained oak produced a wave of spice. The reduced nose mingled the sweet and citric notes of chocolate limes, lemon cheesecake and orange liqueur. The palate, with chocolate brownies, espresso, rose Turkish delight and a dry, nutty, wine-leather finish, seemed the perfect armchair dram.

On the palate neat, a lively citrus flavour was tempered by tutti-frutti sweetness, rose water, and dandelion and burdock. The finish held a savoury surprise with jarred artichokes marinated in a rich, nutty olive oil. Water added cardamom, honey and blood oranges alongside green olives stuffed with feta. The taste had the pleasant sweetness of lemon juice-drenched crêpes, candied apples, woodruff ice cream and cinnamon-spiced mint candies. Following 12 years in an oloroso butt, we transferred this whisky into a second fill, heavy toast, medium char European oak puncheon. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/files\/SMWSA_2025_Festivals_Full_Poster_Across_The_Finish_Line_1.png?v=1747168465\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41624939167815,"sku":"059.88","price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/files\/59.88-US-wide.png?v=1744992968"},{"product_id":"cask-no-68-128","title":"Cask No. 68.128","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis one was very aromatic from the word go.

After the addition of a drop of water we discovered a bowl full of roasted mixed nuts next to stewed apples, rosemary and thyme sausages, and maple syrup.
