Scents of cherry liqueur, tobacco from a leather pouch and seaweed butter scraped on campfire rye bread toasts were all borne on the breeze. 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. On the palate, water arrived with a high tide of dark and red things: walnut-infused red wine, ox tail in sherry sauce, apple chutney, tamarind sauce, more iodine and sweet pipe tobacco. At nine years of age, this whisky was transferred from an ex-bourbon hogshead to a first fill American oak PX hogshead for the remainder of its maturation. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43132463480903,"sku":"053.489","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/files\/53.489-US-wide.png?v=1790260384","url":"https:\/\/orders.smwsa.com\/products\/cask-no-53-489","provider":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
