A world of crushed oatcakes, buttermilk, barley water, pollen-laden yellow flowers, greengage plums, plush cereals, velvety white fruit jams and long-aged dessert wines. Fragrant, complex and extremely beautiful. With water we noted freshly milled grist, cooling wort, autolytic sourdough starter, honey cake and an elevated floral complexity. The palate opened with heather honey and milk bottle sweets. A natural, spirit-driven sweetness full of mango pudding, lactic stout ales, brioche, sultanas and flambeed banana drizzled with vanilla extract. With dilution came thicker and stodgier notes of olive oil cake, Victoria sponge, the warmth of English mustard powder, spiced custard, orange blossom, dried mint and a mouth-filling waxiness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39515448541255,"sku":"024.143.VAULTS","price":2495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/files\/24.143-US-VC-box-hires_263fa730-8ceb-49ed-a0bb-6b0007897c05.png?v=1765309488"},{"product_id":"cask-no-24-163","title":"Cask No. 24.163","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe gave it a mesmerising stare in the glass, a bright dark burnt umber colour which was followed by a magical wave of a wizard’s ‘Satya Sai Baba Nag Champa’ incense stick - a rich smell of frankincense, other fragrant herbs and resins. Incredibly gentle but still with a ‘tannic grip’, a perfect marriage between dark chocolate, Grand Marnier and candied orange rind – all in a truffle. A tiny drop of water and you will be on a magic carpet ride to Alcaiceria, the Great Bazaar of Granada, while on the palate you watched the sunset over the city and the Alhambra. After twenty-nine years in an ex-Oloroso butt, we transferred this whisky into a 1st fill PX sherry butt.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAbout The Vaults Collection:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Vaults Collection is a selection of the \u003cb\u003efinest and rarest single cask, single malt whisky\u003c\/b\u003e, set aside from The Scotch Malt Whisky Society’s most remarkable stocks over the years.

The floral notes serenaded prawns and lobster as they sizzled on a beach barbecue, while toasted brioche buns patiently awaited their arrival. With a little water, delightful textures appeared as miso paste, butter and salted caramel blended into fig ice cream. Now, the soft leather of vintage car seats sang a chorus in unison with cured ham, lamb chops and dried seaweed.
