SMWS Underwater Barbecue 12 Year Old Blended Malt #24

This 12-year-old blended malt, playfully named “Underwater Barbecue” by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, offers a uniquely complex character born from its maturation in three distinct cask types: first-fill bourbon, oloroso hogshead, and Spanish oak. Distilled at a currently undisclosed Highland distillery – identified within the Society’s coding system – this whisky presents a robust 50% ABV, delivering a full-bodied experience. Expect a fascinating interplay of smoky sweetness, hinting at barbecued notes alongside rich fruitcake and spice derived from the sherry cask influence. A testament to the Society’s dedication to single-cask expressions, this dram embodies the spirit of exploring Scotland’s diverse whisky landscape.
