Description
Tasting Notes
Flavour profile
Nose
The nose starts in a gourmet grocer with butter and European honey on bagels. There is dark chocolate with hazelnut praline, fresh mint, freshly ground coffee and sweetened condensed milk. Subtle notes of cherry jam and Turkish delight build in intensity with time.
Palate
The palate is round and supple with an oily texture that provides salted caramel, peanut brittle, pecans, wine gums and maple syrup.
Finish
The intensity dovetails into rosewater with watermelon and a surprisingly saline note that sits alongside the satisfyingly astringent espresso-scented fade.
Local & Ethically Sourced Ingredients
Offering the signature style of our award winning Single Malt Whisky, but with complexity only found in the rarest of single cask whiskies. Matured in a single, exceptional Australian apera cask, the nose offers an inviting aroma of freshly baked bagels with butter and honey, supported by a palate of chocolate praline, peanut brittle and rosewater.
Matured for over 5 years. Australian apera is a fortified wine similar to Spanish sherry. It's used to season American or French Oak casks, offering a flavour profile that's usually made up of nutty and dried fruit notes like figs and prunes.
Our pale malt speaks to the Australian land where it was grown, delivering tropical fruit flavours with floral overtones.
Our local amber malt is made by roasting kilned malt which leads to a drier finish. it offers a light, biscuity flavour and dark reddish brown hues.
Batch roasted to bestow a rich cereal character, this malt delivers notes of pastry and the aroma of caramel fudge.
