Description

The Creators Collection is a new series from The Scotch Malt Whisky Society that brings liquid storytelling to life with rare aged whiskies, curated to create the ultimate whisky flights. This particular bottling, 'Unleash the serpent', is part of the 'Tales of the Worm Tub' sub-series, celebrating the bold, rich and robust flavours contributed by worm tub condensers. This 21-year-old Craigellachie spent 18 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead before being transferred to a first fill hogshead for the remainder of its maturation.

Maltiply Tasting Profile
Nose
Big aromas caused a deluge of bramley apples, plum jam and assam tea to crash through the chocolate soil and leaf mulch on a forest floor. Beetroot brownies, treacle tarts and chestnuts became caught in the waves as they cascaded between oak trees and sappy pines.
Palate
Adding water delivered sticky cough syrup packed with orange oil, lavender and cooling camphor before heavy black forest gateaux landed alongside prunes, cherries and sultanas soaked in armagnac.
Finish
The sweet and thick syrup remained through to the finish, where it was joined by earthy clay flowerpots, split logs and the cooling sensation of mint chocolates.
