Highland, Western

Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of The Scotch Malt Whisky Society

Some of us pictured the oriental boudoir of Queen Marie Antoinette in the palace Fontainebleau while others, closer to home, found glazed smoked cured bacon with brown sugar and maple syrup. On the palate, yet again, some carefully sipped on a sweet and smoky margarita using orange curacao, orange blossom honey and blood orange soda next to lime juice and peaty whisky. Others had shots of peated pickleback. Careful when adding water, as the impression was of a barn full of freshly cut hay going up in smoke. To taste, we found smoked honey on sweet bread and, in the finish, pimentón de la vera, Spanish sweet smoked paprika.
