That Boutique-y Whisky Company has taken a trip down under for its Return to Oz series, and managed to get hold of this smashing single malt from the Limeburner's distillery! Located in southwestern Australia, a region renowned for its wine production, the cool climate, quality water, and of course local access to an array of casks make it an ideal location for a distillery. This five-year-old single malt enjoyed its maturation in an Australian Apera wine cask, a sweet wine produced with Pedro Ximénez grapes. Expect plenty of rich chocolate, tannic oak, and dried berries here.
Batch 1 is a release of 434 bottles.
That Boutique-y Whisky Company bottles limited edition whiskies from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blends. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose Resinous oak, juicy raisins, and treacle are supported by dense cocoa and boozy cherries.
Palate Dark red fruit notes continue on the palate, accompanied by dense layers of chocolate fondant and chocolate-coated almonds.
Finish Hearty roasted malt and leathery oak bring bold balance, while rich cacao and spiced fruits linger.
