This Aussie whisky comes from the island state of Tasmania. When they are not being harassed by the Tasmanian devils they produce some of the best whisky being made south of the Equator at this moment. The whisky in this bottle was finished in French Oak Port Casks for a fruity flavour.
Melted dark chocolate and red wine gums open up a big fruity nose. Hints of anise, white pepper and coconut.
Jelly babies and a little more white pepper dominate the palate entry with cinnamon and a lick of fresh cut grass developing.
The finish is swift but substantial with fruitcake notes.
A full-bodied whisky that showcases what the Australians are doing well.
I was looking forward to this one. shame the price went up!
Shame about the price hike. Maybe it was due to increase costs to source the bottle, maybe it's just profit margin, but still a disappointment. Hyped whiskies are never easily accessible to true whisky lovers any more.
Why The massive price rise
I think that is a very low move indeed. All tho demand is exstreamly high the 50% hike in price mark up is a slippery move to pull and for more of a better phrase "this does not reflect the true cost of getting this dram to us !". It's a high ball move to pull and has been done because people will pay this price due to demand.
£50 price increase?? Shameful. Won't be buying this now.
