SMWS Tasting Notes

Colour: New pound coin

Flavour: Peated

This was like a genie in a glass, from clean perfumed smoke and a well-used wooden pipe rack to sun scorched hay and heather, moving on to stem and crystallised ginger and finishing with seared scallops. We finally let the genie out and had a sip – it was a puff of glittering, well rounded, perfumed smoke. Sweet and floral at first, but then salted caramel arrived and in the finish, a pleasant dryness. With water, crunchy ginger and coffee iced biscuits as well as almond slices and the taste of lavender honey on burnt toast making this a very relaxed laid back experience.

Drinking Tip: Close your eyes and make a wish
