Its final two years endowed the malt with nuttiness and baking spice character indicative of the Spanish oak Oloroso cask it was matured in. This is a transportive dram that will whisk you away to Southern Spain in an instant. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Panel Note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: A truly complex aroma greeted the Panel as sweet, fruity notes of tangerine combined with winter berries alongside orange oil and vanilla as well as a subtle nutty dryness. On the palate, we found juicy honey-spiced oranges made using cardamom, cloves and cinnamon, as well as the type of subtle sweetness that comes from glycerine as can be found in a dry, old amontillado sherry. Reduced, we were reminded of the poem ‘At Jerez’ by Carol Ann Duffy: “ ... or walk the cool bodegas’ aisles – where flor and oxygen grow talented in fragrances and flavours – to sniff, sip, spit, swallow, savour ... ”. Following 10 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a first fill one-year seasoned Spanish oak oloroso hogshead.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eUSA allocation: 276 bottles\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41224071708743,"sku":"085.97","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/files\/85.97-US-web.png?v=1731365886","url":"https:\/\/orders.smwsa.com\/products\/cask-no-85-97","provider":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
