“Cask No. 151.1: “The Swedish Mozart” is a 9-year-old bottling from a new charred oak barrel with an awesome colour,” says SMWS spirits manager Euan Campbell. “The whisky comes from a vertical distillery, and this cask was matured 50 metres underground in a disused iron mine. The result is a Sweet, Fruity & Mellow flavour profile whisky, full of vanilla, coconut and marshmallow notes, and with a very deep colour – it’s heady and hypnotising.” Notes according to SMWS: An extremely pleasing aroma of sweet herbal notes combined with the floral scent of lavender and primrose as well as crushed heather. On the palate neat, sweet and smooth which reminded us of Mozart chocolate cream, that milk chocolate liqueur refined with Belgian chocolate with flavours of butterscotch, custard and touches of cinnamon. With a drop of water, we were transported to Salzburg and the Tomaselli coffee house dating from 1700, where Wolfgang Amadeus sipped his coffee, a melange – a mocha with milk and whipped cream and certainly not accompanied by a snowball (soft marshmallow coated in chocolate and sprinkled with coconut). So harmonious, just like the works of Joseph Martin Kraus referred to as “the Swedish Mozart”.
