Official tasting notes.
Aromas of toffee, maraschino cherries and raisins. A velvety palate highlighting the Australian fortified flavours of dried fruits, cinnamon and clove and sweet zesty freshness that comes with an older whisky of this calibre. A super-long finish of caramels, stone fruits and spices. Very easy to drink.

Description:
The Elusive (Batch #2) is a marriage Bourbon and sherry casks bottled at a punchy 47.1% alc. The whisky is a showcase of Tasmanian flavour and what can be achieved when cooler heads prevail in the midst of a controversial stain on the Australian whisky industry.
The Remnant Whisky company was formed in January 2020 by Peter Bignell (Belgrove Distillery), his son Dane, and their associates. Together, they bought nearly 300 full barrels of Nant whisky from investors stung by the failed buy-back scheme under the previous owner of Nant, and put together a rescue deal to purchase the barrels, setting out to blend and bottle whisky that almost never saw the light of day.
