A Bourbon cask Glen Garioch. Nose has pear drops, cut grass and something a bit funky like a fake citrus-scented urinal cake. The palate has a taste of malt biscuits dipped in white wine and has a long grassy herbal finish. The other East Village drams are so good this kind of gets overshadowed by the others and is quite sharp tasting if you taste them together as it is so different.
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
