We passed honeysuckle, lavender, leaf mulch and orchard fruits en route to a tea room where we enjoyed chocolate cake and blackberry jelly on almond bostocks. The palate delighted with raspberry jam and crème de cassis, sweetened black tea and cola, finishing with tingling traces of nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon. Water added mango, melon and pear to the nose, while the palate picked up orange notes, cocoa, linden flower tea and salted plantain chips.

Water revealed a mentholic and chalky edge, with eucalyptus oils, menthol and camphor balm, manuka honey, liquorice, dried mango and gorse. The palate opened with big notes of sweet, charred watermelon, mango pulp, elderflower liqueur, dried herbs, wildflowers and hints of bandage and coal smoke. Reduction brought orange peels, root beer, guava, salted honey and brittle trace notes of Orcadian peat smoke. At seven years of age, we combined selected casks from the same distillery. We then returned the single malt into a variety of different casks to develop further.

The Panel immediately detected brisket burnt ends, beef jerky and Philly cheesesteak sandwich vibes. We also noted a farmyard tang, vapour rubs, cola syrup, peat-smoked cherries and hot paprika crisps. Water brought seafood charring on a barbecue, smoked butter, burning hay, molten butterscotch and the umami qualities of yeast extract. The neat palate was one big wallop of dense, sweet, tarry smoke, with inclusions of antiseptic, chip-shop saveloy sausages, peppered mackerel and chorizo jam. Water did little to quell the potency, but evolved it to reveal sootier undertones, more tarred rope, unusual smoked cheeses, petrichor undergrowth, crushed nettles, the burnt bits of roast hogget shoulder and smouldering rosemary wood. What a wild wee beasty, we all agreed! After seven years in a refill sherry puncheon, this whisky was transferred into a refill toasted butt for the remainder of its maturation. At the time of tasting, this whisky was a whopping 66.8% ABV. We brought it down to 57.1% (100 British proof) for greater balance, while ensuring that we retained the wonderful high impact flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42985850929223,"sku":"016.98","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/files\/16.98-US-wide.png?v=1792698684"},{"product_id":"cask-no-149-18","title":"Cask No. 149.18","description":"\u003cp\u003eAromas of coastal herbs and flowers, wet rocks, white sand and turquoise water conjured up the serene setting of the perfect Scottish beach. On the palate, we found wonderful herbally infused peat emanating from gently sweet, cured smoked trout and lemons preserved using smoked sea salt. Diluted, we rolled up our trousers, kicked off our shoes and searched for shells in the rockpools – reinforcing the peace and serenity of our tranquil haven.

This had a rich, spiced and sweet nose. To taste, black cherries fizzled in hot chili oil, joined by toasted sunflower seeds, dark chocolate and spiced grapefruit salad. After a drop of water, our noses took us to a slice of marmalade on rye toast, a spoonful of sweet and sour sauce, saffron rice and Turkish delight. We then enjoyed the taste of toffee, fruit punch and chewing tobacco.

On the palate, a drying mouthfeel was a unanimous discovery, complemented by hazelnuts, peanuts, sweet red cola and tarry, brine-soaked driftwood. Water calmed this robust dram and revealed its soothing side. On the nose, our Panellists across the Pond found herbal remedies, ground coriander, smoked sea salt, mint leaf, smoked chilli and even memories of a new car’s leather interior.

The palate, when neat, was dominated by a show-stopping combination of baked oranges and wild strawberry on one hand, with more sunflower and walnut oil, bacon jam, medicinal herbs and old tonic wine on the other. A real \"mic drop\" experience. On the nose, water brought out brandy butter, boozy black forest gateau, beef extract and black olive tapenade – a definite sense of meatiness crept in.

As we took a first sip, the \"red\" impression became stronger still, coming in waves of cherries in brandy, sweet figs, fried bacon and pink peppercorns on a rare steak in red wine sauce, all washed down with a smoky ginger wine. A drop of water brought forth more sea breeze carrying prunes, more figs, incense sticks, iodine, an old leather satchel and fruits of the forest sprinkled with a variety of herbs.
