SMWSRW6.1 Finnish "slapped ears"

This is a cask-strength rye whisky bottled by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society from a single cask. Rye whiskies are generally known for a more peppery, spicy style than many malt or bourbon-led whiskies, and the 55.4% ABV gives it a fuller, more intense presentation.

At 6 years old and drawn from a first-fill oak barrel, SMWS RW6.1 Finnish "slapped ears" is likely to show an assertive mix of grain spice and fresh oak influence. For a novice drinker, expect a bold, lively whisky that may open up well with a little water.
