The neat palate is not particularly sweet – rather oily, bitter and manly – tar, molasses, toasted fennel seeds, nutmeg and drying peat heat. Water brings some caramel sweetness to the nose – marrons glacés, cherry cake and banana split – but it still has embers and ash. The reduced palate finds ginger cake and peppery black bun, tarragon, liquorice and aniseed (especially on the finish) but achieves greater balance – sweeter, with fewer drying bitter notes. It leaves a pleasant, long-lasting impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCask: Refill barrel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAge: 16 years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDate distilled: April 2002\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlcohol: 56.3%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUSA allocation: 48 bottles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16614589825095,"sku":"135.8","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/products\/135.8_Updated_Strip.png?v=1562101457","url":"https:\/\/orders.smwsa.com\/products\/cask-no-135-8","provider":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
