Reduction brought Battenberg cake, orange wine, crème brûlée, boot polish and wintergreen. Highly aromatic, mature, and expressive. The neat palate displayed liquorice and chocolate liqueurs up front, then fir resins, toasted wood spices and plum wine. With water we found superbly classical things like booze-soaked raisins, eucalyptus oils, strawberry cough mix and mentholated tobaccos.

Plenty of exotic wood spices on the palate neat as we mixed a Penicillin cocktail of whisky, ginger, lemon and honey. It was sweet, fresh, spicy and simply delicious. Careful when adding water, as we found cherry blossom, milk chocolate with prunes, bananas doused in spiced rum and cinnamon bagels on the nose. To taste, a surprising fizzy, chilli bite like a prosecco topped up with ginger beer and garnished with a slice of orange and a basil leaf.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClassification: Vintage 2003\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRegion: Bas Armagnac\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCask Type: Refill Armagnac barrel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrape Variety: Baco\/Ugni Blanc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eABV: 47.1%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUSA Allocation: 96 bottles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e700mL bottle format\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39948330303559,"sku":"A8.1","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/products\/A8.1.png?v=1676478865"}],"url":"https:\/\/orders.smwsa.com\/collections\/bastille-day.oembed","provider":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
