Auch The Scotch Malt Whisky Society würdigt das Platin-Jubiläum der Queen (hier finden Sie alle offiziellen Informationen rund um die offiziellen Feierlichkeiten des 70. Jahrestages der Besteigung des Throns des Vereinigten Königreichs von Großbritannien und Nordirland durch Elizabeth II). Und wie wir es vom, laut Selbstbeschreibung, „unterhaltsamsten Whisky-Club der Welt“ erwarten dürfen, findet diese Ehrung und Würdigung auf eine eigene Art und Weise statt. Über den ganzen Juni bietet die Socitey in den Mitgliederräumen ihren Punk Afternoon Tea an. Zu diesem nachmittäglichen Vergnügen gehört die Eiscreme „Bohemian Raspberry“ mit Whisky-Geschmack und die Sonderabfüllung „One Fancies a Sherry“.
Alles Weitere zu diesem Platinum Punk Pairing sowie die offiziellen Verkostungsnotizen zu Cask No 108.58 ‘One Fancies a Sherry’ finden Sie in der folgenden englischsprachigen Presseaussendung:

Tasting notes:
On the nose we discovered “two sides of a coin”. One being dark chocolate cherry liqueurs while, flipping it over, there was a funky scent of roasted beetroot and goat cheese tart. Massive on the palate, a creamy spicy jalapeno jam next to toasted, flaked almonds and a coffee bitterness in the finish. Diluted, an apple and cinnamon turnover, prune juice and on the other side, mushroom pie and tar. While to taste, hoisin sauce, ginger cake and glace cherries. After 11 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a first fill barrique from a privately owned small bodegas, now in its 9th generation, that focuses exclusively on the Pedro Ximenez grape.
