Small Batch Corio Cask; a single malt whisky matured in barrels from the illustrious Corio Distillery. Corio Distillery closed its doors in 1989, leaving behind a memorable reputation and forging a pathway for the Australian whisky industry. Ex-Corio casks are extremely hard to come by, and we managed to get our hands on some, to mature our spirit. Resulting in vibrant notes of apricots, toffee and toasted nuts.
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
