Our comparative cask series continues as we explore the wide and wonderful ocean of flavours Society whisky offers!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow the River Clyde just thirty minutes from the Society’s Bath Street member venue and you’ll arrive at the doorstep of our featured distillery. Certainly, the most fascinating aspect of Distillery #5 lies in their decision to triple distill all their single malts. This third distillation creates a pure and delicate newmake with sweet citrus and malt notes. This delicacy demands excellent cask management, and just about all of this whisky is aged in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels. The bourbon barrel provides structure, sweetness and spice without overpowering the nuances of the make. Let’s discover just what nuances await as we \u003cstrong\u003eexamine two casks distilled on the same day and both aged 18 years in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eCask No. 5.89 Shaken not stirred\u003c\/strong\u003e presents rich fruits, vanilla and honey on the nose and palate whilst citrus and oak tannin provide the verve and intensity we seek in a dram. \u003cstrong\u003eCask No. 5.90 Luscious greenery\u003c\/strong\u003e starts with a similar aromatic delivery of sweets, but more chocolate than vanilla. The palate neat (and reduced) then shifts gears to an herbal expression sporting fresh grass, underripe banana and fresh herbs. Ripe tropical notes and accents of citrus and honey balance out the palate in a delightfully playful and complex malt. Those members who were impressed by our Festival vatting of Distillery #5 cannot miss this pair of astonishing single malts!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIf ordered separately: Cask No. 5.89= $195; Cask No. 5.90= $195.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/files\/Juicy_Oak_and_Vanilla_Updated_Strip.png?1961\" align=\"right\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCask No. 5.89 - \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eShaken not stirred\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDate distilled: January 2003\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCask: \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eFirst-fill barrel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAge: 18 years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlcohol: 57.0%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegion: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003eLowland\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\/Sweet_Fruity_and_Mellow_Updated_Strip.png?1955\" align=\"right\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCask No. 5.90 - \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eLuscious greenery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDate distilled: January 2003\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCask: \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eFirst-fill barrel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAge: 18 years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlcohol: 57.6%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegion: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003eLowland\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39849853255751,"sku":"With Love from the Lowlands x2","price":345.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/products\/5.89_5.90.png?v=1665497697","url":"https:\/\/orders.smwsa.com\/products\/distillery-dive-5-with-love-from-the-lowlands","provider":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
