[40.0%・ 9 Years Old・Distilled in 2007・Bottled in 2017・Official Bottling・Barrels HH0245, TD0224, HH0355, & HH0497・Limited Release of 1235 Bottles]
Nose:
Faintly aromatic, clean grass and mango hand cream. Laid back vibes signifying how approachable this is.
Palate & Finish:
Mango sorbet and honeyed granola dressed with toasted almonds. The delivery is on the thin side with just a hint of bitterness, nothing too excessive.
The finishing is light with traces of dark chocolate, tannins and minerals vanishing after a moment.
Thoughts:
In my opinion the DC090 is a vast improvement from the Tasmanian distillery’s previous releases, technically sound and very approachable as an entry level Aussie. Quite a fun whisky really.
