Tasting notes. Richard Stewart (Tasmanian Whisky Appreciation Society)
Just wow – Tims advice to try it in stages works – I tried it immediately, after 10 minutes, and then 10 minutes later…Starts off very calm – not like previous Heartwoods at all… milder than I’m used to. The bourbon is there, but muted…Ten minutes later, hello dirty dog! We’ve got an entirely new drink – if I didn’t have the glass in my hand the whole time, I would’ve sworn it was a new drink… it’s mouth-watering, “juicy”, the peat giving just enough to let you know something is going on… I got a hint of green apples and tea (not normally something I find in bourbon maturation). The finish long long, long… the woody oak is coming out, drying… on and on and on… lovely!
