Part of Barrel and Batch's Celebration of Australian Whisky Tasting - All six selected whiskies were amazing and showcased the diversity and quality of Australian whisky. This peated Black Gate was aged in a Tawny Port cask for 5 years. This is a monster - a truly exceptional peated Aussie Whisky.
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
