Willowbank 17 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)
It's the first That Boutique-y Whisky Company bottling of whisky from New Zealand! What a treat! This was produced by the Willowbank distillery on New Zealand's South Island, which was sadly closed in 1997. It's a rare find, but indie bottlers still manage to get their hands on casks of it even today - and we're rather pleased about that!
Batch 1 is a release of 307 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.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Green apples and warm Acacia honey lead to vanilla pod and almond pastries. Teasing smoky hints rise with notes of milky coffee, drying cinnamon and polished oak.
Palate
A little forest floor earthiness and Werther's Originals sweetness bring subtle flavours to a palate bursting with raw cinnamon heat, barley sugar, beaten leather and spiced treacle tart with custard.
Finish
Burnt sugars and touches of floral oak.
Overall
A distinctive, flavoursome Willowbank that packs a punch.
