A step up from the entry level Port cask release is this barrel strength edition matured in xBourbon and finished in an Australian Port Cask. Exhibiting spice and fruit aromas when neat, a splash of water unleashes malted barley, aromas of port and honey with hints of raisins and buttery caramel.
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
