1st fill sherry cask. Interesting dram lots of sherry influence but it isn't your usual sherry. Popcorn, maple syrup, cinnamon, raspberry, orange, chilli, ginger and chocolate. Pretty hot. This one needs a drop of water and 5 minutes in the glass and then it is great - straight out of the bottle its a little aggressive, spicy and overpowering.
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
