Notes

Complex beyond belief, aromas danced between flaked almonds, figs and raisins before prancing over pancakes doused with lemon juice, cinnamon and sugar. A warming tingle on the tongue tangoed towards sweet melon, clover honey and lime curd. There was even room for earthier notes of root ginger and fresh tobacco. Water kicked off a cha-cha-cha of vanilla sponge cake and country hedgerows dotted with rosehips. Large chunks of white chocolate then sashayed with soft caramel, ripe mango and assam tea. Nutty characters dipped in chocolate now took to the floor,  perfectly in step with syrup alongside clementines and dried chamomile flowers.

About The Vaults Collection:

The Vaults Collection is a selection of the finest and rarest single cask, single malt whisky, set aside from The Scotch Malt Whisky Society’s most remarkable stocks over the years. They have been released from the depths of our treasure trove of casks, after decades of slow maturation and careful nurturing. The Vaults Collection represents the whisky lover’s dream. The Collection takes its name from the Society’s historical home at The Vaults in Leith, Scotland’s oldest commercial building in continuous use whose connection with the drinks world dates back to the 12th century. Each bottle has a specially designed label and is offered in a beautiful wooden box.
