112.134 Ladyfingers And Pop Tarts

Ladyfingers And Pop Tarts is Scotch Malt Whisky Society cask 112.134, 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 8 August 2007, it matured for 17 years in a first-fill ex-bourbon hogshead. The Society's Tasting Panel placed it in the 'Spicy & sweet' flavour profile. Like all Society whiskies it was bottled at cask strength, here 55.6% ABV, without chill filtration. The cask yielded 338 bottles, and this listing is the 700ml bottle.

Nose: Candied rose petals, dried mango, cinder toffee, five spice and ladyfingers in bourbon custard; water adds sherbet lemons, strawberry pop tarts and pine.

Palate: Tutti frutti, rhubarb rock, pears in syrup and prunes; water darkens it to toffee, honeycomb, liquorice, clove and orange bitters.

Finish: Espresso, ginger snaps, caraway and tobacco.

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.
