The Scotch Malt Whisky Society 1998 10 Years Single Malt Whisky

Ah right, this dram’s got a proper autumnal vibe 🍂. First whiff is all smoky oak and a bit of damp leaf, innit. Then you get this lovely warm toffee an’ dried fruit coming through. Tastes like… imagine a bonfire in the garden, but someone’s made a proper apple crumble nearby 🥧. There’s a bit of spice, maybe clove, and a hint of chocolatey bitterness. Mouthfeel’s nice and oily, coats the tongue. Finish is long, warming, with a fade to ash an’ a sweet, malty aftertaste. Gotta be honest, it’s a bit of a slow burner but very moreish. Would defs have another. 👍 *Lil’ typo: “an’” instead of “and” for casual feel.*

Blimey, this whisky's got a right rich and sweet kick to it 🍯. Tastes a bit smoky and peaty, like a bonfire on the moor 🔥. You get some lovely vanilla and caramel notes, almost like a dessert 🍰. There's a fruity undertone too, maybe apple or pear 🍎, with a oaky finish that lingers. The warmth spreads nicely, very comforting 😊. Oh, and it's a bit heavy on the palate, but in a good way – not too harsh.

Ooh, this is a lovely dram. 🥃 Nose gets a right hit of smokiness first, like a distant bonfire, then some sweeter things come through - maybe honey? And a bit of vanilla. Quite rich on the tongue, very smooth. There's a bit of dried fruit, and I reckon I get some chocolatey notes too, and a hint of wood. It lingers nicely, a bit spicy at the end. Really enjoy this one, quite complex but not overwhelming. Goes down a treat on a chilly evening. 👍
