SMWS134.17 An almost hypnotic experience

SMWS 134.17 An almost hypnotic experience is a single malt Scotch whisky bottled from a single refill bourbon barrel at a high natural strength of 60.4% ABV. At 5 years old, it is likely to show a youthful, energetic style with spirit character still clearly present alongside cask influence.

A refill bourbon cask often gives a gentler layer of oak than first-fill wood, so this style can feel bright and direct rather than heavily oaked. For newer drinkers, expect a powerful, concentrated whisky that may benefit from a little water to open it up.
