Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep amber with rich copper-mahogany highlights; French oak port/tawny casks give significantly deeper colour than American Oak
Nose
Rich and aromatic — cedar incense, amber, sandalwood. Ripe fruit, honey, chocolate, oak spice. French oak's porous nature gives deep, complex aromatics from long maturation. The expression that won World's Best Single Malt in 2014 and 2019
Palate
Full body. Rich and complex — ripe fruit, vanilla, honey, dark chocolate. French oak tannins give structure and depth. Cedar, sandalwood, leather, spice. More intense and oak-driven than the American Oak. The whisky that proved Tasmania could beat Scotland
Finish
Very long finish. Cedar, chocolate, fruit, oak spice persist. Warm and enveloping. Won World's Best Single Malt at World Whiskies Awards 2014 (HH0525) and 2019 — first non-Scottish/Japanese to win
