FRUIT, SPICE AND ALL THINGS NICE

This 16 year old single grain whisky from the Southern Highlands comes in at 62.6% after maturing in a 2nd fill barrel.

Flavour profile:  Juicy, oak & vanilla.

Outturn:  245 bottles.

Panel's tasting note:  "First impressions swung heavily towards creamy vanilla and fine powdery sawdust with a sprinkling of cinnamon and nutmeg spice. After a few deep breaths light citrus, milk chocolate and oily walnuts announced their arrival before developing into intriguing peppermint freshness. The palate delivered a punch of intense sweetness as it danced across brown sugar, mango and chocolate orange with the definite shadow of Caribbean rum. Water accentuated the citrus side with a lemon sherbet zing and a much softer and delicate approach on the palate that lead to a satisfying finish of dark chocolate, apple pie and candied orange."

Drinking tip:  "A general purpose dram for all occasions and celebrations"
