Our Tasting notes.
Starts a little thin, but time in the glass works wonders on the Tawny and Shiraz marriage revealing swirling notes of cappuccino, banana skins, halva (toasted semolina) and milk duds. Traditional raison flavours and distant hints of char linger quietly in the background leading to a medium and warming finish. At 43% ABV, it’s an easy drinker and a good starting point for the beginner’s journey into Australian whisky while still having the bones to appeal to the seasoned whisky drinker as well.
