CASK EXPERIMENT SPIRIT DRINK - ONE BOTTLE LEFT!
It's unlikely those working the stills from distillery 42 back in 1995 could have imagined that their new-make spirit would have ended up in a cask alongside two kilograms of sliced Scotch bonnet chilli peppers. But it’s no surprise that the Society is uncovering new and wonderful ways to break down conventions in the whisky industry.
Once upon a time this spirit was a single malt that had matured for around 10 years in a refill ex-bourbon hogshead. That was until around 100 pre-sliced Scotch bonnet chillis were added into the cask – stripping it of its title as a Scotch whisky. The curious concoction was then left to fuse with the spices for a further 17 years before being bottled.
At 55.6% abv these 100ml miniatures offer members the chance to continue the experiment, by sipping, mixing and cooking with this spicy spirit at home.
