Scotch Malt Whisky Society of Canada August 2018 Outturn – Scotch Whisky News
Leave behind your preconceptions, open your mind and set your compass to intriguing adventure as August Outturn brings new out-of-this-world bottlings that indulge the senses.
CASK NO. G15.2* A BEAUTIFUL, BRIGHT SUMMER AFTERNOON
7 years old; 2nd fill barrel; 56.9%; Juicy, oak & vanilla
The aroma of sweet jasmine is followed by chamomile, honey and vanilla tea. Diluted; fresh roses and rice pudding with toasted coconuts.
*A new code for the Society emerges in the form of G15. This single malt, grain whisky is made from 100% malted barley. It’s legally a grain whisky – but using malted barley – as the distillery used non-traditional squat column stills, instead of traditional pot stills, to create this spirit. G15 is the result of distillation in a continuous Coffey still, but instead of running a grain (like wheat or corn) distillate, the stills are fed with 100% malted barley wort.
