It spent 11 years in a bourbon hogshead, and one can detect that on the aroma and palate. The scent hits the nose with chimney smoke, milk bread and barley tea. Savoury flavours of roasted lamb covered in peppercorn spices deliver salivating sensations, whilst sooty vapours create a delectable and appetizing approach to this spirit. Essence of dill, shiso leaf, and pickled cucumber are also present here, which acts as an aperitif to open up the palate. Aside from it being aged in a bourbon cask, the influence of a 2nd-fill red wine barrique creates an enriching profile that accentuates dark chocolate, roasted coffee and tannins. This is an excellent whisky for members who love smoky whiskies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe sure to pick one of these bottles or purchase all three in a bundle, and enjoy\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003efree ground shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eon all orders containing three (3) bottles or more!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlàinte!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf ordered separately: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCask No. 48.153= $110; Cask No. 152.2= $155; Cask No. 66.239= $180.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/files\/Spicy_and_Dry_Updated_Strip.png?1955\" align=\"right\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCask No. 48.153 - \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSingle minded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Date distilled: November 2012\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCask: First-fill barrel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAge: 9 years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlcohol: 59.5%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegion: Speyside Spey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e700mL bottle format\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\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\/Spicy_and_Sweet_Updated_Strip.png?1955\" align=\"right\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCask No. 152.2  - \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCornucopia\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Date distilled: August 2011\u003cbr\u003e Cask: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirst-fill barrel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAge: 10 years\u003cbr\u003e Alcohol: 62.9%\u003cbr\u003e Region: Canada\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e700mL bottle format\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\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\/Peated_Updated_Strip.png?1956\" align=\"right\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCask No. 66.239 - \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMeet me at the game\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Date distilled: July 2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCask: Second-fill charred red wine barrique\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAge: 15 years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlcohol: 57.9%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRegion: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHighland Eastern\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e700mL bottle format\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40510467670087,"sku":"Feb Hidden Gems x3","price":425.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/files\/Feb2024HiddenGemsBundle_865x1560_4ee85a84-94e2-4144-8a5f-a0b39f5ddcd3.png?v=1707951127","url":"https:\/\/orders.smwsa.com\/products\/february-hidden-gems-from-linh-do","provider":"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
