SMWS Tasting Panel's tasting note:  "Wonderful, can you smell the coffee – those freshly ground beans now in your mug. It triggered all sorts of good feelings and memories like making Christmas cookies with your mum and being allowed to lick the bowl. On the palate juicy sultanas, salty flavours of Macadamia nuts, warm walnut and raisin bread, cinnamon custard and buttery shortbread pastry dough.

Water brought sumptuous rosewater in sherry and hot buttered crumpets while to taste chocolate pots with dried orange peel and five-spice – chocolate and spice what a great partnership! After 11 years in a refill Oloroso butt, we transferred this whisky into a 1st fill Pedro Ximenez sherry butt."
