Waterford Micro Cuvée Pique-Nique is a limited release from the Waterford Distillery aged in French oak & Vin Doux Naturel casks for 3 years This is one of just 2750 bottles produced. There are loads of releases from Waterford and just a few that have sold out ridiculously fast - this is a fruit bomb that is going a bit crazy on the secondary market along with the Hearth and Lomhar Micro Cuvee releases at the moment. Bought this at auction as retailers are gouging customers with this one going for triple the release price now. Hype or super tasty - curious to find out.
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
