About This Whisky
February 20, 2026
Nose
Deep, dark forest notes — steamed raisin pudding with tawny port wine sauce, a gingerbread house with vanilla-based frosting, tonka beans, cinnamon sticks and garibaldi biscuits. With water: chocolate-coated dark red cherries, turrón ice cream and PX raisins.
Palate
Blueberries freshly picked from the woodland. Rich, raucous and highly rewarding. Sherry leads the way with pronounced richness balanced beautifully with the muscular character of the distillate.
Overall Notes
SMWS Distillery 48 Rare Release (Spirit of Speyside 2024, 14yr, 49.8%). Deep Rich & Dried Fruits profile. Rich, raucous and highly rewarding — ex-bourbon and PX sherry casks in perfect balance.
