The initial comments, after a breathless moment, were ‘insane’, ‘huge’, ‘spectacular’, ‘this is a knockout’ – you get the idea?  Peat smoked mackerel on crusty bread with a creamy horseradish sauce – delicious. With water we barbequed calamari and pineapple slices, as well as fresh porcini on banana bread. On the palate still intense but at the same time a gentle finesse – maybe flavour encapsulation à la Heston Blumenthal? After twenty years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a 1st fill shaved toasted and re-charred Oloroso seasoned barrique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCask: First-fill Oloroso barrique, shaved\/toasted\/re-charred\u003cbr\u003eAge: 23 years\u003cbr\u003eDate distilled: May 1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlcohol: 55.2%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUSA allocation: 60 bottles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.
