Released to mark Geographe Distillery’s Tenth Anniversary 2008-2018. This cask strength whisky comes in at a HUGE 70.4% alcohol and was matured in a small French oak, port cask that yielded 113 half bottles. It was distilled from a mash of medium and a portion of heavily peated malt, and the peat is nicely balanced by the dark fruit from the Port cask.
Non-chill filtered and with such a high ABV, this single cask whisky is not for the uninitiated and really comes alive with the addition of a few drops (or more) of water. It’s a celebration of how far Bellwether whisky has come.
These bottlings have ‘collector’s item’ written all over them so don’t miss out.
Aromas of dark fruit, chocolate, oak, peat smoke, and some tar are evident. Uncut this whisky has plenty of spice and heat on the palate and is definitely not for the uninitiated, but once again the addition of a little H2O knocks the edge of the heat and allows the drinker to fully appreciate what lies beneath. It finishes long with more fruit, chocolate, and smoke.
