The Scotch Malt Whisky Society 35.247 2008 (11 year old) ‘In A tabanco jerez 65%
Second Fill Oloroso Sherry Butt/ Dist: Mar 2008 Btl: 2019/ Tasted: Oct 2019
Bovril.! Meaty and sherried with cumin, treacle, juicy raisinated fruit, green nuts, tamarind juice and tobacco smoke on the nose. Water makes no change.
The palate is a mouthful of juicy raisinated fruit, green nuts and alcohol. Water tames the alcohol but it’s still all sherry. The finish is hot and bitter with lime, raisin and cardamom. Water softens. In conclusion: A very clean sherry cask but in truth it could have come from anywhere in Scotland.
