SMWS 80.28 ("Bootleg Breakfast Saloon")
Single Malt — Speyside, Spey, Scotland
Reviewed
May 5, 2022
Color: Orange mango
Nose: Fresh honey sweetness with split firewood and vanilla blooms. Hints of citrus--maybe orange rinds?--drifts through on the back end.
Palate: Rich caramel, toffee, and maple. Mellow bourbon barrel staves. More waxy honeycomb and smooth vanilla.
Finish: Short and sweet, with more of the citrus notes. Candy orange slices with big sugar crystals.
Diluted: Fruits shift to the softer, redder, and sweeter variety on the nose, and really dominate. More complex malty richness on the palate, and a short but fruity finish.
