[65.9%・4 Years Old・Distilled in 2011・Bottled in 2015・The Odd Whisky Coy Bottling・Cask No. 43・Single Cask Release]
Nose:
Muscovado sugar & dark chocolate, it’s sticky with plenty of Christmas spices to go with charred orange peels. Heavily oaked with a faint whiff of dark soy sauce.
Palate & Finish:
Loud and spicy on the palate, a full chunk of woody note seasoned with balsamic vinegar. Pitted cherries with dark chocolate and peanut butter malted milk shake as over-powering spices explode all over the place.
The finish is much more palatable, with some dark chocolate, toffee and sweet raisins playing out the tail..
Thoughts:
An independently bottled single cask from a boutique Australian distillery before it got fashionable. This youthful malt from the now defunct joint is exhibiting a lot of traits commonly found in young heavily cask aged Australian whiskies.. a respectable finish though..
