Bellwether whisky is only produced in very small quantities and this fourth release comprises 300 (350ml) half bottles, is non-chill filtered and bottled at 46% alc. This whisky is a marriage of two distinct single casks distilled in Aug 2013 and March 2014, both matured in small French oak ex Tawny (Aust. Port) casks. The whiskies used in this single malt were produced using medium peated (20ppm phenols) malted barley giving hints of peat smoke that are offset by sweet dark fruit flavours from the port cask.
The whisky displays a burnt orange/amber hue. Aromas of dark fruit, brown sugar, and a hint of peat smoke are evident. A drop or two of water opens up the whisky to reveal ripe fruit and some malt notes.
It finishes med/long with chocolate, dark fruit, smoke and oak tannins.
