Official tasting notes.
Nose: Rich rum notes peek through the sweet floral bourbon overtones with a welcome whiff of earthy peat.
Palate: Clean malty alcohol provides the big opening, then the floral and peat notes dance across the palate with suggestions of boiled lollies, vanilla beans and musk sticks recalling the bourbon cask origins. The diverse elements resolve into a delicious complexity that lingers long and rich.
Finish: It is here that the Islay peat comes to the fore and carries all the elements of this complicated dram to a wonderfully fulfilling conclusion. A little water adds a creamy element but does diminish the glorious rum sweetness so do enjoy this engaging dram at cask strength before reaching for the water jug.

Bottling Notes
Here’s a beautiful new expression from Hobart whisky that was matured in small ex-bourbon casks for 3.5 years, transferred to a 200L rum cask for 1 year then finished in a 200L Laphroaig cask for 12 days. Also comes in a robust, cylinder decorative tube that would display beautifully on your bar or whisky collection while you kick back sipping on some of Tassie’s finest.

This gives you the old 1-2-3.
Kinda sweet, kinda big with attitude, ends kinda smokey. t’s everything without being anything…not a bad thing…There’s something for everyone.
It is to be enjoyed at full strength – a weighty 60.6. But with water…it’s white bread. – you lose the journey and it is a trip worth taking.
