Battery Point Distillery tasting, Hobart, Monday August 10th 2024, Whisky #2 Nose: Orange zest, sherry, malt extract. Palate: Semi-sweet arrival and development, malt, sherry caramel and vanilla. The texture is oily. Finish: Medium. Sherry dominating the aftertaste. This was a blend of whiskies matured in a 100 litre PX sherry cask and a 100 litre cream sherry cask, producing a batch of 418 bottles. It is the first batch of fully sherry-wood matured whisky from Battery Point and we tasted from bottle #261. Overall I thought it was similar to the Tripe Cask expression we tasted first but simpler and sweeter in profile. The PX cask influence is very strong here. “Above Average” : 82/100 (3.25 stars)
