Nose

Cherry wood and cedar, like opening an old violin case – a little musty, woody, sweet bow rosin, and a mineral note like steel. Vanilla fudge and a little leather.

Palate

Lovely sweetness of honeycomb, milk chocolate. Dried tropical fruits – papaya and mango. Dark chocolate coated cherries. Hints of dried chilli flakes.

Finish

That chilli hit continues to rise. It leaves a lovely prickle on the palate as it dries.

Comment

More proof that there is some awesome whisky to be discovered in Australia.
