The palate was likewise, and supplemented with an earthy character evoking a sugar-dusted cereal field and a lick of mace. Water introduced starched linen, hot clay and iced finger buns to the nose, while the palate became woodier, with a twist of blood orange, a dash of chocolate bitters and an oak-smoked plum.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41523175686215,"sku":"060.37","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/files\/60.37-US-wide.png?v=1743108190"},{"product_id":"cask-no-11-56","title":"Cask No. 11.56","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe found this one immediately bright and smoky, with a chiseled, bone-dry peat profile. There was also a wonderful coastal edge that brought persistent freshness, brittle smoke, bubblegum, aniseed distillate and bath salts. We all really enjoyed this one! With water it maintained this sharp and salty balance, but added in notes of salted peanuts, seawater, grapefruit and charred pineapple. The neat palate was superbly clean, sharp and pristinely peaty, with a big streak of medicine in the form of bandages and ointments. With water it got surprisingly waxier in texture, along with a 'farmier' profile and a broader, richer peat flavour. We noted camphor, lanolin, pickling brine and malt vinegar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41700652613703,"sku":"011.56","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/files\/11.56-US-wide.png?v=1748458686"},{"product_id":"cask-no-48-173","title":"Cask No. 48.173","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe nose presented a paradise of plums, potpourri, apricot danish, red apples and polished furniture. The palate gave us dark chilli chocolate, a nutty cinnamon topping on plum and damson crumble,  (spiced currant) 'fly pie', manuka honey and five-spice roast pork. Water brightened the nose to new car interiors, sunshine through a hay loft, vanilla pods and Danish plum and marzipan chocolates. The palate became sweeter and more refined – apple and lime jelly beans, sparkling white grape juice and chocolate oaty biscuits dipped in brandy; with sugar-coated fennel seeds and peshwari naan later. We transferred this whisky into a first fill re-charred barrique after eight years in ex-bourbon wood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42171960000583,"sku":"048.173","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/files\/48.173-US-wide.png?v=1762547150"},{"product_id":"cask-no-156-4","title":"Cask No. 156.4","description":"\u003cp\u003eA playful and very intriguing nose was dominated initially by buttery popcorn, sandalwood, green banana and party rings. We also noted lemon bonbons, chalk dust, pineapple tarts and battenberg cake. Water brought out pressed flowers, oatcakes, cereals and Turkish delight. The neat palate was full of rich cereal notes, linseed oil, touches of caraway and hints of candied hazelnuts and limoncello liqueur, plus some lovely lemon and lime citrus vibes. Reduction brought an oiliness to the texture and some more complex herbal qualities such as verbena and bay leaf. We also noted sunflower and pumpkin seeds, pistachio cake and jelly babies. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42271895322695,"sku":"156.4","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/files\/156.4-US-wide.png?v=1764960080"},{"product_id":"cask-no-93-221","title":"Cask No. 93.221","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst nosing suggested such madness as heavily peated swimming pools. Then, a smouldering beach bonfire doused in malt vinegar, tarred rope, crab sticks and rockpools cut with petrol. This was a mighty and potent dram! Water revealed lashings of hessian, old rope, creel nets, pure tar, more vinegar and hints of jalapeno brine and oyster sauce, with a final farmyard twang of funk in the background. The neat palate was superbly sharp and powerfully briny: loads of seawater, petrol, tar, iodine and pickling juices. We also noted cornichons, capers and anchovies in smoked olive oil. With water it took on serious 'dirty martini' vibes, infused with boiler smoke, green and black olive tapenades, preserved lemons wrapped in bandages, and lashings of merbromin antiseptic and pickled onion rings. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42271940018247,"sku":"093.221","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/files\/93.221-US-wide.png?v=1764959881"}],"url":"https:\/\/orders.smwsa.com\/collections\/the-society-tasting-at-esmais.oembed","provider":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
