Palate: Sweet, luscious mouthfeel with stewed fruits, caramel, liquorice and all on a sherried palate!

Finish: Basically, a continuation of the palate with the addition of some very nice mild spice.

Overall: A lovely finish, topping off an equally lovely start. Interestingly, the high ABV is not over powering at all which just goes to show that a high alcohol strength won’t always blow your head off!

Palate: Sherbet sweetness rich with toffee and plenty of fruity alcohol Oomph! There’s also some new make spirit popcorn taste lurking in the background.

Finish: Again, as before, the flavours established in the palate forge along nicely but with the addition of a bit more chilli than the previous dram.

Overall: Plenty going on with this dram and all of it is good!

Palate: Cane sweetness with heavy plump stewed fruits, citrus and toffee.

Finish: Super spicy finish with a lemoney tanin finish.

Overall: Loved the citrus with this dram and together with the sugar and spice it made this whisky very nice!

Palate: Thick, creamy mouthfeel with sherried fruits and chocolate cherries with coconut – Yum!

Finish: Some poppy chilli joins in the fun for the dryer finish – which is short but does invite another sip!

Overall: Hiding it’s light under a bushel this one was initially but it eventually revealed it’s secrets. I can see why this has sold out – a top notch dram!

Palate: Sweet, burnt wood with a tasty charred aftertaste joined with creamy caramel. The palate is also accompanied by some interesting antiseptic and herbal flavours.

Finish: The palate continus with growing spiciness, antiseptic and herbal flavours and a dry tanin and tobacco finish.

Overall: A great balance of a sweet dram and peaty smokiness which really satisfies the palate.

With quality drams from the SMWS you don’t have to settle for an either / or flavour profile. You can have the best of ALL worlds!
