46.141 Strolling Lolling And Sipping

Scotch Malt Whisky Society cask 46.141, Strolling, Lolling And Sipping, is a single cask single malt Scotch whisky from Glenlossie in Speyside (SMWS distillery code 46). Distilled on 20 April 2010, it matured for 12 years in a first-fill ex-bourbon barrel. It was bottled at a cask strength of 60.6% ABV, with an outturn of 160 bottles. The Society files it under its Sweet, fruity & mellow flavour profile. Light-footed at first, with buttered popcorn, bergamot, bubble gum and pineapple over citrus curd and yellow flowers. The palate opens with sweet mint tea, fruit salad juice and limeade, and water adds mango lassi, banana chips and sandalwood. Like every Society bottling it is bottled at cask strength without chill filtration.

Nose: Light: buttered popcorn, bergamot, bubble gum, pineapple, citrus curd and yellow flowers; water adds vanilla-coconut custard, heather, honey and oat bars

Palate: Sweet mint tea, bubble gum, fruit salad juice and limeade; water brings mango lassi, banana chips, dried apricot and sandalwood

Serve: Neat, then with a few drops of water to open up the aromas; at full cask strength it rewards patience.
