Tasting Notes
Our entrée was spiced marmalade on a wholewheat cracker before, floral and flagrant, rose petals landed on a warm hay bale. The palate opened with a pint of old English shilling ale, warming mace and a lot of dried orange peel, pomegranate and red grape. Manuka honey followed, as did ginger and bramble jelly. Water offered a heady, exotic spice market, along with plum and treacle toffee. The palate was buttery, with olive oil cake and pistachios joined by bergamot and parma violets.
From Euan Campbell, SMWS Head of Whisky Creation
“We’re very excited to see this one. At 4-years old it’s quite young but it’s been matured in a hot climate in Israel in a nice STR (shaved-toasted-recharred) barrique, so it has a dark, rich colour - lovely stuff and another example from the SMWS of how great world whisky can be.”
