Kinglake "Mull it over again" Whisky in Isolation 58%abv 30ml
Whisky in Isolation made the first mulberry wood cask finished Australian whisky. This one is finished in the same cask for a longer period. Midleton's brand Method and Madness made the first Irish whiskey matured in Mulberry casks and this is also available as a sample.
Mulberry trees have been revered in Roman and Japanese culture. East European liquors Palinka and Rakia are often matured in Mulberry wood casks as they are believed to offer health benefits that counter the damage of the alcohol. Its not an old wives tale - Mulberry wood and root extract are now being evaluated to lower blood pressure and increase insulin sensitivity - also as a weight loss supplement. Don't rush out and chew on mulberry wood and leaves as the sap is toxic and causes hallucinations and serious gastrointestinal problems - casks have to be seasoned for a long time to be used in liquor production.
