Notes

About Bar cart curiosities: If you’ve ever enjoyed Ballantine’s blended whisky, distillery 72 is likely why. It quietly produced whisky for nearly 100 years before single malts could be found. Except for the Society, of course…. We’ve been releasing them for a while now. Thanks to us and those like us, distilleries like 72 enjoy much more of a spotlight today. While you might not find an official bottling outside of the Chivas visitor’s center, this single malt will probably blow the others out of the water. Don’t sleep on this very cool, very underrated malt. 

Tasting Panel Note: A cocktail of grapes, sour plum candy and evaporated milk was being shaken nearby, its scent mingled with the bouquet of luxury floral hand cream. The palate was mouthwatering, with sherbet lemons and orange, clove and toffee, and rose jelly doughnuts. Water introduced plums to the nose, along with hot linoleum, vanilla and oregano biscuits, cut grass and paraffin candles. We could now taste rum 'n' raisin ice cream, pencil shavings soaking in coconut milk, and lemon curd.
