112.132 Soft Waxy Oiliness

Soft, Waxy Oiliness is Scotch Malt Whisky Society cask 112.132, a single cask single malt Scotch whisky from Loch Lomond. The Society labels its bottlings with a numbered code instead of the distillery name, and code 112 is Loch Lomond. The Society lists its region as the Highlands. Distilled on 12 October 2015, it matured for 9 years in a first-fill ex-bourbon barrel. The Society's Tasting Panel placed it in the 'Oily & coastal' flavour profile. Like all Society whiskies it was bottled at cask strength, here 59% ABV, without chill filtration. The cask yielded 228 bottles, and this listing is the 700ml bottle.

Nose: Millionaire's shortbread, honeycomb ice cream, milk chocolate buttons and raspberry custard cake; water adds pear frangipane, battenberg and white chocolate.

Palate: A key lime and coconut-rum milkshake, sweet, tart and creamy; with water waxy and oily, with red berries and a spicy Bloody Mary.

Finish: Sea-salted peanuts.

Serve: Taste it neat first, then add water a few drops at a time; the Panel's notes change noticeably once the whisky is reduced.
