No 12: Smögen ”Barrique”, a 7 yo bottling at 60,3 % abv from four red Bordeaux wine casks of French oak filled in 2010, this is a huge whisky with very intense flavours from both distillate and casks. Outwith the regular notes of malt, peat and oak, tobacco, leather and horses’ stables all make an appearance on the nose and palate alike. Released in the spring of 2018.
