SMWS 41.42 - Seduction in an Austrian coffee house - Roses and walnut cake
By Stu_R on 11th Aug 20102010-08-11T13:13:00

Nose: A quite sweet and fresh start on vanilla and dried apricot, spiced walnut cake showing nutmeg, cinnamon and some lemon rind but not at all heavy. Some quite floral notes sit behind with delicate … read more

Pull up to the bumper baby! Nose: An awful lot going on here - this is not the most accessible bouquet I've come across but that's not to say I don't relish a challenge! There's an underlying sweetness… read more

Reading my notes back for this whisky, I'm convinced its one of those bottles that a) you would never expect, b) would probably never choose to taste based on your own notes, and c) you're so glad exists… read more

By scribe on 26th Jun 20102010-06-26T18:59:00

"A grain whisky?", I hear you cry. "I thought this was a malt society?" Hang on though. This is no normal grain whisky. Some time back around the birth of the interwebs (Christmas 1990), the spirit for… read more

By Piero on 15th Jun 20102010-06-15T21:37:00

I approached this one with slightly less excitement than I usually do with an SMWS bottling – I haven't been overwhelmed by the Bowmore whisky I've tried in the past. When it comes to Islay I love Ardbeg… read more

SMWS 105.14 - A sweet song with deeper resonances - Freshly painted with fruity emulsion
By scribe on 13th Jun 20102010-06-13T15:57:00

The Tormore distillery was the first Scottish distillery to be built in the 20th century (in 1958-1960), and sounds like one of the more intriguing distilleries to visit - some Googling tells me it has… read more

By Speysider on 26th Mar 20102010-03-26T12:23:00

The most amazing nose, with a full body and doesn't let you down on the palate. A truly wonderful offering from this distillery and unlike anything I've tasted from Glen Moray before.

I must admit this is the first Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) bottling I've tried, so I've had to make extra special attempts to stop excitement getting in the way. Apparently excited tastings make the… read more

Try as you might, its impossible not to get excited when you taste a new Ardbeg whisky for the first time. Let alone a single cask bottling limited to just 242 bottles. This is an 11 year old whisky … read more
