SMWS 35.34 - Moroccan tea-room masculinity

It would help if you told us what is written on the bottle, or the flavours you've detected yourself.

This is an exciting cask - a newly made 'designer' cask. Untouched by any other spitit (a rarity and a real treat).

The SMWS Tasting Panel wrote:

We found this nose interesting and unusual, doubtless due to the new wood. Echoes of oak (a carpenter’s workshop, tea boxes, vanilla) complemented the rich toffee, chocolate and raisins; but then something more airy arrived – American cream soda, coca-cola, bubble-gum and peppermint. The unreduced palate started fruity and floral, but developed a masculine side (smoke, ash, leather and tobacco). The reduced nose, with perfumed smoke, sandalwood and carpets, suggested Moroccan tea-rooms to someone who knew about such things. The palate became elegantly sweet and teasing, but with clove and cigar-box boldness. The distillery was in the Glenmorangie group until recently.

Drinking tip: To enjoy while the shades of evening gather; maybe on a carpet
