“Bear Claws on a Window Sill” Scottish Malt Whiskey Society Very limited edition, members only whiskey
(Price Guide: R 2,000)

Juicy, oak & vanilla, 1 of 197 bottles, 8 years old, 1st-fill ex-bourbon barrel, ABV 60.1% from the Highland region.
Spirit notes: The nose brought together delicate buttery notes and a cheeky juvenile freshness - hot buttered sesame bagels and corn cobs, pulped fruit, putty, painted wood and popcorn. A short burst of sweetness on the palate (syrupy pancakes, hard caramels) gave way to pleasantly mouth drawing flavours of blackcurrant leaf, lemon zest, lime pickle, chewing tobacco and matcha powder. The reduced nose discovered peeled willow twigs, worts, hop flowers, chocolate limes and cola cubes. The palate, both complex and refreshing, combined salted caramel, honey roast parsnips and cinnamon bear claws with sherbet lemons, Haribo Tangfastics and pencil shavings
