SMWS153.4 An epicurean epic

SMWS 153.4 An epicurean epic is a young single malt Scotch whisky bottled from a single cask at a natural cask strength of 58.8% ABV. It was matured in a first-fill bourbon barrel, a cask type often associated with notes of vanilla, oak and bright sweetness.

At 7 years old, this style is likely to show a lively, robust character rather than deep maturity. For a novice drinker, expect a full-flavoured whisky where the high strength may benefit from a little water to soften the alcohol and open up the aromas.
