With time a slightly sweeter, earthier edge emerged, like earthen-floored wine cellar must and walnut wine. Water brought out more aromatic aspects such as hothouse flowers, tobacco leaf and boiled mint sweets, plus a touch of candied grapefruit. The neat palate was surprisingly rounded, featuring lots of demerara sugar, plum wine, fennel seeds and treacle tart with a hint of blood orange. With reduction we found a much more intense and direct sweetness, characterised by flavours of blackcurrant jam, dates, plums in cognac, raisins and toasted oak lactones. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCask: First-fill Pedro Ximenez butt\u003cbr\u003e Age: 7 years\u003cbr\u003e Date distilled: November 2015\u003cbr\u003e Alcohol: 55.7%\u003cbr\u003e USA allocation: 90 bottles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e700mL bottle format\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40132800380999,"sku":"008.43","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/files\/8.43.png?v=1688650239","url":"https:\/\/orders.smwsa.com\/products\/cask-no-8-43","provider":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
