LAWN MOWERS RUN AMOK IN AN ORCHARD
The exuberant nose recalled all the fruit candies of the world – jelly babies, gummy bears, fruit gums etc., cassis, Pink Lady apples and cherry blossom. The palate, with a sparkly tingle of joy, brightened our lives with bubble gum, rhubarb, pineapple and Norwegian apple and grape soda, plus hints of garibaldi biscuits, ice cream and chocolate chip cookies.
The reduced nose had orange peel, juniper, banana bread, dried apricots and lawn mowers running amok in an orchard. The palate now had Danish pastries, vanilla, mellow calvados and juicy pomegranate – then a slightly chalky finish, with suspicions of cinnamon and liquorice.
What Makes this whisky Different?
SMWS Cask No. 39.288 – “Lawn Mowers Run Amok in an Orchard”
Ever wondered what would happen if a rogue lawnmower took off on a joyride through an orchard? Well, wonder no more—this Speyside single malt captures that exact moment of controlled chaos in a dram.
Aged 11 years in a 1st-fill barrel, this whisky is a riot of orchard-fresh aromas, grassy zest, and a mischievous touch of something unexpected—like a Sunday afternoon that started with good intentions and ended with an unforgettable story.
The Tasting Experience
From the first sip, you’re hit with crisp apples, ripe pears, and a burst of citrus—as if someone just revved an engine through a fruit market. Then comes the herbal, almost effervescent notes, like freshly-cut grass and a hint of wildflower honey. But just when you think it's all fresh and innocent, a cheeky spice kicks in—white pepper and cinnamon—adding an unexpected twist, much like an unmanned mower suddenly veering off course.
The finish? Long, warming, and slightly nutty, with lingering oak and a wisp of malted barley sweetness. It’s the kind of whisky that makes you want to kick back, laugh, and raise a glass to life's little surprises.
Why You Need This Bottle
This is a dram for those who appreciate bold flavors, a sense of adventure, and a good story to go with their whisky. Whether you're savoring it solo or sharing it with friends, one thing is certain—it won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
So, if you're looking for a Speyside malt that breaks the mold, embraces the unexpected, and delivers on flavor, Cask No. 39.288 is your next must-have pour. But be warned—like a rogue lawnmower, this one won’t stick around for long.
