Product Description

A tickle at the cricket is a whisky that stands apart from our regular offerings of cask strength bottlings.

Bottled at a slightly reduced strength of 48% abv, this strength has been selected by our whisky team as being the optimal abv for this particular cask. The result is a full-flavoured Society single malt that offers an alternative way to explore our range.

Tasting Notes

Butter biscuits mingled with meringue and cold lemon curd, before being joined by peanut oil, strawberry liqueur and the perfume of a summer meadow on the nose. The palate was a fruit salad accented by mace and poppy seeds, served with fried bread, pear syrup and a drizzle of lavender honey. Water took us back to the meadow, this time with pollen filling the air as we watched a game of cricket and grazed on lemon bonbons. The finish was nutty and sweet, pursued by a tickle of white pepper spice and a piece of honeycomb served on sandalwood.
