Honey Barrel, Barrel Aged Honey Spirit
Honey Barrel, Barrel Aged Honey Spirit
As the second spirit in our two-part honey series and the older sibling to Eau de Bee Honey Spirit, Honey Barrel, Barrel Aged Honey Spirit celebrates the splendour of Beechworth Blue Gum honey and the diligence of the bees that created it.
Fermented in our bespoke Washback no. 12 for seven days and then cold distilled, a selection of rich distillations were set apart from the unaged Eau de Bee before maturation in ex-Moscatel casks at our Botany Distillery. The result is a union of oak and honey with a melody of golden syrup, buttered toast, vanilla pudding and chervil.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Initially greeted with buttered toast drenched with golden syrup, vanilla bean and lemon curd. Evolving into apricots, white chocolate, chervil and honeysuckle.
Palate
Soft and syrupy, with golden syrup and lemon curd making way for paw paw, coconut and a hint of clove.
Finish
A captivating finish of macadamia nuts, grapefruit zest, cedar and honey.
