And now for something completely different…
Say hello to the latest distillery from The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, with the release of Cask No. 154.1
The nose neat had plenty to offer with prune juice, dark honey, molasses, dried cherries, hints of thyme, aniseed, and cloves while, lurking in the background, sizzling unsmoked Danish bacon rashers. As did the palate, massive, very chewy, and very tasty indeed, like a dark rich stout with toasted malt and liquorice flavours. Following reduction, the aroma had plenty of herbal notes reminiscent of cough medicine or a root beer. The taste was that of fresh tayberry jam served on waffles and in the finish a delicious dark cherry and Greek yoghurt Danish pastry. Matured for over four years in 50 litre PX casks before being consolidated into a full size PX hogshead for 10 months.
