2 MANAGERS CORNER KÆRE MEDLEM Håber at I alle kom godt ind i det nye år. Her er de sidste forberedelser i gang til årets store event SMWS Festival Inden vi når så langt, har vi fornøjelsen af at præsentere jer for 4 små fristelser her i januar. I anledning af Burns night, finder i en hyldest aftapning fra destilleri nr. 58. Da vi var på rundtur i landet i august måned, gik flere forgæves efter en flaske Det er lykkes os at få fat i de absolut sidste flasker af denne super aftapning, som vi nu sætter til salg. Trænger du mere til en Gin & tonic, eller måske bare en Gin, så har vi fået tildelt en lille smule af GN1.3. Vi har dog gemt en enkelt flaske eller to, der skal bruges i SMWS cocktail baren på festivalen. Er du i tvivl om hvordan det kan smage, så er chancen i hvert fald der. Den sidste fristelse i denne måned bliver røgfeens lillesøster, Peat Faerie Jr. Der er kun kommet 60 flasker af denne til Danmark, og det ser umiddelbart ikke ud til at der kommer flere denne vej. Du kan læse smagsnoter og alle detaljer inde i Outturnet. Da vi har mange medlemmer i København der er forhindrede i at deltage på festivalen, dukker et par af drengene op ugen før på Kareten med en lille del af festival Outturnet det udkommer først tæt på festivalen, men I kan allerede nu tilmelde jer casual day i København, lørdag den 26. januar. Torsdag den 31. januar har vi kick-off på festivalen, og det markerer vi sædvanen tro med en casual day, flankeret af et par smagninger. Såfremt du ønsker at deltage i casual day i Vejle denne dag, bedes du huske at sende en mail, så vi kan være klar til at tage os godt af jer alle sammen. På snarligt gensyn, og godt Nytår! Thomas Korsgaard Manager

3 Usquebae an blankets warm SPICY & DRY CASK NO DKK 775 Refill Barrel Date distilled 21-April years Strength 59,7% Speyside Deveron Outturn DK 24 bottles If you sniff too deeply, the dry, spirity nature is like a frozen thistle up the nose, but treated with caution it gives pears and toffee apples, gingerbread, juniper bushes and gin; a warm blanket of laundry and blotting paper. With water it settles nicely pot pourri, snuff, ginger snaps, Blackpool rock and raisins. The initial neat palate is sweet and tart apple strudel, lemon peel, fresh fruits; with pepper, chilli and cinnamon heat on the finish. The reduced palate is even quite civilised and tasty; jelly beans, spearmint Mentos and chalky lavender sweets just a hint of cheek-tingling wasabi at the end. Selfperpetuating perfection OLD & DIGNIFIFIED CASK NO DKK Ex-Bourbon / 1. Fill PX Hogshead Date distilled 15-June years Strength 52,3% Speyside Lossie Outturn DK 18 bottles Unsure exactly where the dram either started or concluded we found ourselves spinning in a whirlpool of complexity. Dandelion and burdock merged with liquorice and vanilla pods in rippleless layers as Turkish delight became shrouded by milk chocolate. Suggestions of darkness introduced prunes, fig rolls and cinnamon swirls whilst creamy viscosity encased creme catalan and honey on custard. A gentle swirl of plum tart on an old oak stave moved towards gooseberry and ginger jam to maintain a lively vigour before ending back where we started with liquorice and vanilla pods. After spending 25 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead this was transferred to a 1st fill ex-pedro ximinez hogshead for the remainder of its maturation.

4 Blended Malt Lightly peated CASK NO. Peat Faerie #4 DKK Fill Barrels & Refill Hogsheads Date distilled 12-October years Strength 50,0% Islay & Speyside Outturn DK 60 bottles The nose enticed with vanilla, pineapple and white chocolate, while a sweet dustiness reminded one panellist of chalk board dusters. We found a distinct maritime edge, smoked salted butter and old fashioned straw pressed cider. The peat smoke lead on the palate accompanied by salty peanut brittle, caramelised red apples and watermelon jelly. A splash of water brought toasted (borderline smoky) coconut, while soft minty notes gave way to lightly smoked white fish. The palate was slightly drying at first with a building sweet intensity. Flakes of sea salt were lightly sprinkled onto tropical fruit making for a sweet and savoury crescendo fitting of this regional marriage. Lemon & coriander meander Single Spirits CASK NO. GN1.3 DKK Fill Barrel Date distilled 2-August-2017 NA Strength 57,8% Glasgow Outturn DK 18 bottles Aromas at full strength start with juniper to the fore along with fresh and zesty dried lemon peel and wet cut grass. It s spicy with coriander seed, anise and tree sap. Tantalisingly sweet too lemon meringue pie with melon and peach and gentle herbs in the background. Take a sip and it is lively and drying (lemon peel and coriander seed), sweet with a pleasing bitterness and a lemon meringue pie lingering finish. Tonic water brings out a refreshing mix of citrus, bitterness and sweetness. It s aromatic with juniper, aniseed and coriander seed with gentle pepper warmth and sweet and juicy like a subtle fruit salad.
