Meet Deets
Meet #100   |   17/11/18   |   Hosted by Phil
Our 100th Meet! We decamped to Falkland Palace for a weekend in a cottage and a crazy lineup of drams - but all for charity. A good way for SSWC to sign out :)

Smells
Marzipan, smell would confirm the sherry cask, Olbas Oil, Bovril, raisins that have been steeping wine for too long, figs, Black tea, bananas, a pleasantly sweaty chest, Brandy in an old woodden drinks cabinets (tool(s?) pale(te)?), pepper dulse. Smarties make me naughty" Candy floss, vanilla, blackcurrants. The smell would confirm the sherry cask.
Tastes
Hot & sour, stewed tea, dry red wine. Nose better than taste, just like a man in a tuxedo. A man in a Tuxedo, Cola, stewed prunes, mouldy fruit, like a rolling stone, a lot less intense than the nose, like the Ben Nevis 49yo (30% 'whisky').
