SMWS 93.92 Fruit Pie in a Cleaning Cupboard. 12 year old single cask, cask strength SMWS bottling from Glen Scotia Distillery. Campbeltown, Scotland. ABV: 57.7%. Tasted at Whisky a Day HQ, $195 (bottle).
Colour: Polished gold.
Nose: Hessian sacks, sea salt and that smell of snapping half dead twigs from a tree.
Palate: Salty flavours front the band here, ably supported by backup singers creme brûlée, overcooked toast, dark chocolate and espresso crema.
Finish: Like a salted Werther’s Original caramel candy. I don’t even think Werther’s make a salted caramel candy, but if they did this would be what it tasted like as the last piece melts on your tongue.
Comments: I’ve never tasted a fruit pie in a cleaning cupboard, but if I had I would have expected something sweeter on the palate along with a more pungent ammonia-like hit on the nose. This dram has neither of those things, which is absolutely fine with me.
