Archie Rose Heritage Red Gum Cask Single Malt Whisky 46%ABV 30ml

From Archie Rose Website:

'An outstanding limited edition single malt whisky matured in a cask made from Australian native red gum used to mature apera fortified wine for many decades. This very special whisky pays tribute to Master Distiller Dave Withers and the winemaking legacy of his father and grandfather'.

Official Tasting Notes

Nose
Incredibly complex, intertwining sun-dried raisins, bush honey, and apricots with subtle undertones of eucalypt, sandalwood, and hazelnut butter.

Palate
Silky at the onset, unveiling glacé cherries and dried orange zest that smoothly transition into a deep, expansive mid-palate boasting rockmelon, roasted pecans, and dried jasmine flowers.

Finish
A prolonged and intricate interplay between cask and spirit concludes with a crescendo of milk chocolate, bush honey, and lingering incense.
