Official tasting notes.
The nose resembles an English garden, freshly cut stone fruit, peeled oranges and a hint of spiced apple. Sweet fruit welcomes the palate along with creamy butterscotch oils, before light spice and soft caramels combine. A BIG finish, spice drives a numbing experience to sides of the tongue before the dram nestles across every inch of the palate, coating it in one of the best shiraz cask expressions we have seen to date.

Bottling Notes
Here’s another elegant Rochfort whisky expression that was aged in a 15-year-old shiraz cask once graced with some award winning Yangarra Estate reds, including shiraz that was made from hand-picked, organically-grown grapes. Only 28 bottles were yielded from the cask and bottled at a cask strength of 64.4% ABV.
It’s unfortunate to see the Rochfort Distillery has fallen on hard times, having to close their doors (hopefully not forever). No matter the controversy, they bottled some stunning whisky expressions that are becoming very much sort after since the closure.
