SMWS Spirit Of The Season 2022 bottles below:

35.318 – Spiced Hot Orange Juice

60.6% ~ 1st Fill Ex-Bourbon Barrel ~ 9yo ~ Speyside ~ £57.00

We prepared a hot sauce, West Indian style, with spice coming from the scotch bonnet peppers and fruity aromas from mango, pineapple and guava. Plenty of lovely esters on the palate neat with pear drops, foamy banana sweets and candied hazelnuts but, at the same time, a cinnamon spiced hot orange juice. Following the addition of water runny honey, roasted vanilla pods, American cream soda, coconut and oak shavings appeared while the taste had plenty of sweet goodness with jelly babies, milk bottle chews and pink wafers. In the finish we found sweet peppered baked bacon and allspice pickled watermelon rindread more

38.35 – Hibiscus Tea Beneath A Mango Tree

50.7% ~ 2nd Fill Ex-Bourbon Barrel ~ 25yo ~ Speyside ~ £280.50

Warm and salty sea air brought with it the fragrance of coconut and almond oil as we sat sipping hibiscus tea, cranberry juice and chewing dried apricots. On the palate the fragrance developed into delicate lilies and peppery nasturtium leaves with sweet flavours of lemon curd on banoffee pie and custard, before black forest gateau arrived with a pinch of sawdust. With water came an elegant arousal of toasted oak and coconut with roasted pears topped with cinnamon and golden sultanas in syrup. Tropical fruits now delivered fresh mango and melon with tinned peaches, honey and cinnamon with ginger to finishread more
