46.116 Snickerdoodle! (Malt of the Month)

Description

The Gathering is about coming together, sharing great whisky, and creating memories we can hold forever. Back for 2022, The Gathering has some really special events coming up which will be sharing around our Malt of the Month, The full Gathering Cask exclusive to Australia: Cask 46.116 Snickerdoodle! A huge shout out to all members who helped taste and select this cask, and a big congratulations to Mark Garroway, whose name for this was ultimately picked the winner! Expect notes of greenhouse plants, spice grinder, cinnamon sticks, dried banana chips, and of course, snickerdoodle cookies in the park in Spring. Here’s to you, here’s to the Society, here’s the Gathering!

Like sugar cookies on a fresh Spring afternoon! On the nose, brisk grassy spirit with greenhouse plants, spice grinder, orange blossom, lemon sherbet lollies, desiccated coconut, and dried banana chips. The palate is zingy, lively and full of Lossie exuberance. Fresh cut grass, banana bread, and exactly the kind of spirit best shared in good company at a park picnic with new friends. The reduced nose has a bit of cigar ash, digestive biscuits, and lemon meringue. Forest fruits, spiced Dutch biscuits, and lovely sharable savoury notes to hold it all together. The palate after some time holds together like vintage champagne with a side of melting moments and a day in the sun. Delightful.
