Tasting Notes

On day 11 of the SMWS Advent Calendar we found a ten-year-old Linkwood – nicknamed April in Seville – in our glass.

On day 10 of the SMWS Advent Calendar we find C’est Chic. A wonderful Inchmurrin from the Loch Lomond Distillery.

Tonight the SMWS Advent Calendar has a Highland Park in store for us. Carrying the name: Viking. Moderate. Gale Force 8.

On day number 7 we find A Complex Character in the SMWS Advent Calendar. A tropical Dailuaine that blew me away.

On day 7 the SMWS advent calendar takes a sidestep from Scotch, towards Wales. With The Magic Faraday Tree.

On day 6 of advent SMWS surprises us with A Wee Scamp. A 7-year-old Glen Moray aged in a first fill ex-bourbon cask.

On day 5 of the SMWS advent calendar we’re surprised by a peated dram, bearing the promising name “A Particular Kind of Beauty”.

The sweet kiss of leather splinters is what the SMWS decided to call this dram, let’s see if today’s advent lives up to its name!

Lip-Smacking, Citric and Summery is a whole mouthfull to name a dram. Let’s see if it lives up to that description!

This SMWS bottling is nicknamed “Gold Rush” and I can see why. I have rarely tasted a dram with honey as rich as this!
