It's the first batch of Black Gate single malt whisky to be independently bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company! Founded is New South Wales, Black Gate is helmed by the husband and wife team of Brian and Genise Hollingworth, and it's not just Australian whisky they produce - they also make Australian rum, too! This expression here is a well-sherried single malt, and features Frankie the dachshund on the label herding some emu, as well as a lark (in reference to Bill Lark, whom Brian studied the art of distillation under).
Batch 1 is a release of 254 bottles.
‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company’ bottles single malts, single grains and bourbons from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blended malts and blends. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels.
Ripe red grape sweetness, with a good helping of treacle and warming oak.
Burnt sugar, heavy vanilla, raisin, oily malt, and another rich helping of oak spices.
Lingering honey, brown sugar, and plum notes.

Not like anything I’ve tried before, and I’ve tried quite a few. Rich nose with rubber, black cherry, a touch of almond and oak. More oak spice on the palate with some blackcurrant and cardamom.
