Description

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society was founded in Edinburgh in 1983 by Phillip 'Pip' Hills who, while travelling around Scotland in the 1970s, fell in love with whiskies drawn straight from the cask. After convincing some friends to buy a cask of Glenfarclas he expanded his syndicate and in 2004 the Society was purchased by Glenmorangie PLC.

Nose
The usual Laphroaig medicinal complex plus cereals, smouldering leaves, salt and butterscotch. The sherry becomes more pronounced as it sits with the butterscotch joined by toffee and, yes, the inevitable raisins. Brighter and sharper with a bit of water and also more coastal—and after a bit there's a bit of vanilla.
Palate
Leads with the smouldering leaves and the sweeter notes and phenols come crashing in behind. The smoke expands as I swallow. Nice texture and very approachable at full strength. Ashier on the second sip and more phenolic (inky). Saltier as it goes and some savoury gunpowder begins to emerge as well. With a lot of time (about 40 minutes) everything is in very nice balance.
Finish
Long. The smoke expands, becoming tarrier as it goes. There's some smoked ham in here too now and hints of brighter fruit. As the smoke begins to pop out earlier on the palate the finish begins to become sweeter (brandied raisins). Saltier here too with water and then smokier at the end.
