Notes

About Smoky hanky panky: Cask No. 16.97 ‘Smoky hanky panky’ is a featured character in the epic action film ‘Smoke on the Horizon’. This peated Highland whisky presents a unique peated expression unlike the more common whiskies of the Islands. We’ve had so much fun nosing and tasting this one and would recommend pairing it with your next summer barbecue.

Tasting Panel Note: This was a real winter warmer, delighting the Panellists with a serving of hay-smoked lamb chops in a redcurrant glaze next to wild berry fruit tea and oak-smoked tomato ketchup. The palate neat continued the foody theme with sweet, smoky marinated chicken wings and the iconic German street food, currywurst – a bratwurst with a sauce made from tomato purée, yellow curry powder, other spices, sugar and vinegar. After the addition of water, and all these foods, we needed a digestif of either a grappa or a fernet. In the finish, we rustled up a smoky version of a hanky panky cocktail by adding lapsang souchong tea. Following 11 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a first fill #4+ char hogshead.
