SPIRIT NOTES
Harkening back to the Society’s founding in 1983, some of the very first distilleries SMWS worked with have been gathered to offer an exceptional tasting experience – the 1.9.8.3. 40th Anniversary Bundle! This quartet is packed with flavour drawing on Speyside and Islay casks to comprise this numerical ode to our beginnings. Cask No. 1.282 Magic Shadow Show features a mouth-filling dram from our very first distillery. Dark molasses notes are brightened by citrus, vanilla and honey in this richly endowed dram. Cask No. 9.274 Toffee Apple Orchard greets us with floral and tropical notes surrounding waxy, malty whisky in this 19-year-old instant classic. One of the rarest casks we’ve seen in years resides in Cask No. 8.43 Shaded By Flowers, the first release from this distillery since 2006! Opulence abounds in this full-term PX matured dram that explodes onto the scene with dried fruits, baking spices, nuts, and dark confections. We complete our 1983 flavour adventure with a peated favourite in Cask No. 3.348 Mellifluous Quince. Hallmark perfumed smoke accompanies a panoply of fresh fruits and peaty ash for a complex single malt to savour slowly. Slàinte mhath!
