Merry Christmas

Limited to one bottle per member.

The Winter Series is a toast to the spirit of the traditional Scottish ceilidh, a tradition that once incorporated not only dancing but also storytelling, poetry and music. Released late last year, featuring four distinctive single malts, each adorned with a bold letter—S, M, W, and S—celebrating the various seasons. Due to the delays in shipping to SA, we now have three of these whiskies available, with the fourth and final release arriving in our next Outturn.

SPIRIT NOTES

Black treacle, mulling spices, roasted chestnuts and a strong cup of java with a liberal shot of dark coffee and rum liqueur made us all feel warm and fuzzy. On the palate, fancy orange-flavoured brandy liqueur and dark chocolate truffles joined a traditional chewy Highland toffee bar, named after the iconic wee laddie who first sat on his bucket more than 80 years ago in a newspaper and is now part of Scottish heritage. Water added bread and butter pudding, warm croissants, gingerbread and sun-dried tomatoes. To taste, we dined on bramble pie with cardamom custard and fresh lemon zest in the finish. Following six years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a first-fill Spanish oak Oloroso hogshead.
