It's Aussie so must be good! OK - I'll put my patriotism to one side and give this an objective review. Nose is pleasant with sweet fruits, vanilla , hint of floral notes some esters like bananas in the background. Taste is creamy, rich and forward loaded with stone fruits, french vanilla and ending in mild spice and light tannin. Not a long finish has to be said. This is a whisky where all the action is up front. OK so if you can find a bottle and also afford it you do get a very pleasant and kind of old school whisky experience. A bit like a Glenmorangie in many ways. In the end very decent and doesn't put a foot wrong but it is also in many ways not very complex or exciting. When you factor in the price it becomes a bit of a non starter. Having said that it is stone cold proof that Australia can make really good whisky but maybe not enough of it to keep the price connected to planet Earth. Big thanks to Cascode for the sample!
