Cask No. 156.1   

West coast recipe

Lowland

Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of The Scotch Malt Whisky Society

We shallow fried our sliver of peat in fine olive oil, then added mushrooms, vanilla and heather honey before covering it with a hessian sack. To the tongue, the dram offered poppyseeds, smoked black tea, salted toffee and baked red apple. Introducing water generated more sweetness and a distinct salinity on the nose; cashew nuts, sursild (Norwegian pickled herring), vanilla frosting and Whitby kippers. Now, the palate gave us sweet tobacco, wet peat and sponge cake, with toffee and cinnamon buns.
