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 Killara was aged in a 100 litre Shiraz cask - it has a balanced softness and earthiness, doesn't taste like 59.7% - stewed fruit, prunes and raisins.
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
