Tasting Notes
Imagine a grilled tuna steak marinated in soy sauce, orange juice, olive oil and garlic followed by roasted figs with honey and Marsala wine over vanilla ice cream. On the palate neat tagliatelle ai funghi – pasta with a porcini mushroom sauce and plenty of finely shaved truffle on top. Diluted, sweet exotic crystallised fruity aromas next to wood spices, dried herbs and candied blood orange slices were followed by the ‘noble rot’, grapes infected with Botrytis for those coveted sweet wines.
About The Vaults Collection
The Vaults Collection is a selection of the finest and rarest single cask, single malt whisky, set aside from The Scotch Malt Whisky Society’s most remarkable stocks over the years. They have been released from the depths of our treasure trove of casks, after decades of slow maturation and careful nurturing. The Vaults Collection represents the whisky lover’s dream: A chance to journey back into whisky history, including the opportunity to experience styles or distilleries that no longer exist. The Collection takes its name from the Society’s historical home at The Vaults in Leith, Scotland’s oldest commercial building in continuous use whose connection with the drinks world dates back to the 12th century. Each bottle has a specially designed label and is offered in a beautiful wooden box.
