I’m back again with some sumptuous sherried SMWS releases – this one in particular is a 16YO Glen Moray, finished in first fill sherry and bottled at a rather bold strength.

SMWS are on a roll with sherry releases, whether they be peated or unpeated releases, but it’s a welcome change for me, as I’m normally in the market for those cleaner, bourbon cask matured releases.

Apart from being rather delicious to taste, this bottle came with an incredible magazine that documented the SMWS teams journey through southern Spain, and how sherry, in all of its forms are made. I thought I knew some stuff about sherry, but this has opened up so many other doors for me!

I’m ecstatic to be an SMWS member, you don’t have to purchase things on every outrun, but to try some more obscure distilleries in a more natural fashion, with some rather fun names and surroundings really puts a smile on my face.
