Rhythm and Booze Records #4: Nicole Cassandra Smit

Cask Le Sens unveils a distinctive blended Scotch whisky created directly to match the music of Edinburgh-based singer-songwriter Nicole Cassandra Smit. This innovative collaboration reverses the typical creative process: rather than pairing an existing spirit with music, the whisky itself was blended to reflect Nicole's artistic sound. The result is a unified artistic statement combining two creative disciplines seamlessly.

This 7-year-old expression at 50% ABV features a significant portion of 35-year-old Invergordon grain whisky, which contributes creamy, buttery richness at the blend's heart. Malts from Speyside and the Highlands provide structural integrity and fruity character, creating a well-balanced composition that showcases both components beautifully.

On the nose, fresh fruit, caramel, and honey emerge invitingly. The palate develops these notes further, introducing toffee for added complexity. The finish remains pleasant with fresh fruit, caramel, and honey lingering. Much like Nicole's music, the whisky is initially sweet and approachable, yet reveals surprising depth and playful complexity the longer you sit with it.

Each bottle includes an exclusive QR code linking to original songs by Nicole recorded specifically for this release—available nowhere else. A compelling offering for enthusiasts who appreciate both fine whisky and original music.
