The nights were long and there was a frost in the air as we gathered together the seasonal cake ingredients. Into the bowl went candied orange, stone fruits, cape gooseberries, honey, coconut milk and salted butter. We then ground together the spices… nutmeg, aniseed and cloves. The smell was glorious! As the bitter wind blew forest leaves under the door we huddled around the fire with a hot cup of black tea and a block of dark chocolate. After maturing for 24 years in an ex-Bourbon hogshead this whisky was transferred to a 2nd fill ex-Sauternes hogshead for the remainder of its maturation.
Due to the philosophy of the SMWS, our signature whiskies are very limited in nature.
We constantly re-order single casks to ensure a varied selection for you to choose from.
