The first Whisky Sponge Australian exclusive bottling in a planned series coordinated by the Whisky List honouring Aussie Whisky Icons. First in the series is the legendary Melbourne Whisky institution - Whisky and Alement with owners Brooke, Jules and bar manager Lachlan - they need a larger label to fit all the other legends that work this bar and the W&A alumni that are now scattered around the whisky world. Wonder who is going to grace the next bottle label.
In classic Australian style, this whisky has absolutely rippled flavour out of its cask. However, while I was expecting spiky youth in the spirit and the abv, it drinks with a maturity and ease that belies these facts. I have since bought two bottles. Absolutely delicious and as good, if not better, than it’s Scotch peers
