SMWS 76.84 is a 1st fill Sherry Butt matured, 21 year old Mortlach single malt!!
Like all other whiskies from Scotch Malt Whisky Society, this particular bottle has an interesting name, Feisty and Zesty, which gives us some hints of citrus already.
A wonderful SMWS whisky, worth every moment of 21 years. Very mature, charismatic and strong. Sherry casks gives dark fruity influence with earthy and spicy character.
This whisky has a vibe and it is revitalizing! I am happy that it was money well spent! SMWS 76.84 made me remember why I am a member of this society.
