19.102 Effortless Minulness

Effortless Mindfulness is Scotch Malt Whisky Society cask 19.102, a 21 year old single cask from Glen Garioch, the Highland distillery behind SMWS code 19. It was distilled on 17 February 2003 and matured in a first-fill ex-bourbon hogshead, which yielded 247 bottles at a natural cask strength of 53.2% ABV. Like every Society bottling it is not chill filtered. The SMWS panel filed it under Sweet, fruity & mellow and described a calm, sweet-shop dram: caramel wafers with toasted coconut and milk chocolate tea cakes, opening with a little water into a greenhouse of exotic plants and water lilies. A rare, mature Glen Garioch for collectors of single casks; 700ml.

Tasting Notes: Sweet, fruity and mellow.

Nose: Caramel wafers, toasted coconut and milk chocolate tea cakes.

Palate: With water, greenhouse plants and floral water-lily notes.

Serve: Neat, then with a few drops of water.
