There is a \u003cstrong\u003egentler style of smokiness\u003c\/strong\u003e produced here that has become a gateway for many whisky lovers who are intrigued by peat smoke but not yet ready to tackle the bold and aggressive style of whisky produced by distillers further south. There is also the ability to produce rather intensely smokey malts for those peat lovers who crave a stronger appeal. The \u003cstrong\u003ecoastal influence\u003c\/strong\u003e in each cask adds yet another layer of complexity to the malts produced here. Many connoisseurs consider the malts of Distillery #4 to be the most well-rounded in the world!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur featured single malts were all distilled on January 28\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e, 2008. After \u003cstrong\u003e9 years of aging in ex-bourbon hogsheads\u003c\/strong\u003e, they were vatted (married together) and ‘re-casked’ for \u003cstrong\u003e4 years of additional maturation in separate first-fill ex-bourbon barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. The resultant whiskies will transport your senses across the Atlantic! \u003cstrong\u003eCask No. 4.298 I see seashore\u003c\/strong\u003e dons the “Oily \u0026amp; Coastal” flavour profile, combining notes of dried seaweed and salty sea air with jasmine tea, smoked oysters and lemon meringue pie. Another note that screams ‘Distillery #4!’ is heather and honey, a classic flavour to pick up on. Our next two malts are both classified as “Peated” in our flavour profiling yet offer an abundance of autonomy and differences. \u003cstrong\u003eCask No. 4.300 A horned beast\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most robust of the trio with sharp lemon, herbs and spicy heat on the nose. Maritime aromas and flavours soften the intense peat of the palate with anise, smoked tea and beach bonfire on the finish. \u003cstrong\u003eCask No. 4.301 Sooty clouds\u003c\/strong\u003e lightens up with smoked seafood and citrusy desserts. Smoked meats and gingery spice lead us to an herb garden near a rock pool. Certainly a sweeter version of peat with plenty of smoky complexity to keep us going back for more!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIf ordered separately: Cask No. 4.298= $140; Cask No. 4.300= $140; Cask No. 4.301= $140.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/files\/Oily_and_Coastal_Updated_Strip.png?1965\" align=\"right\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCask No. 4.298 - I see seashore \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Date distilled: January 2008\u003cbr\u003e Cask: \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirst-fill barrel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Age: 13 years\u003cbr\u003e Alcohol: 60.2%\u003cbr\u003e Region: Highland Island\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/files\/Peated_Updated_Strip.png?1956\" align=\"right\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCask No. 4.300 - A horned beast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDate distilled: January 2008\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCask: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirst-fill barrel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAge: 13 years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlcohol: 61.3%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegion: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHighland Island\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/files\/Peated_Updated_Strip.png?1956\" align=\"right\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCask No. 4.301 - Sooty clouds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDate distilled: January 2008\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCask: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirst-fill barrel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAge: 13 years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlcohol: 61.0%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegion: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHighland Island\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39552327680071,"sku":"Distillery Dive: Orkney Adventure x3","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/products\/BottleBundletest2.png?v=1639679306","url":"https:\/\/orders.smwsa.com\/products\/distillery-dive-4","provider":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
