Aussie Legend with his moustache on the label. Had to get this bottle for those reasons alone.
Tawny Port Cask
One of 195 bottles
When an Australian cricket legend comes to the distillery and follows a barrel during its entire innings, the result is naturally, another great representative for our country. Barrel 332 the same number as Merv Hughes test cap and at 53% abv the same number of tests Merv played for Australia, this bottling is a tip of the cap to the International cricket career of Merv Hughes.
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
