In the Glass: Light gold.
On the Nose: Wood spice. A sweet brown sugar note with a "breakfast-like" quality. Not quite maple syrup, but you can see it from there. Dried fruit.
I haven't ever come across a whisky quite like this, actually. I don't have anything that I can readily compare it to (in a very good way).
Taste: Whatever casks these guys are using, they are really doing a fantastic job. There's no age statement on the bottle, but it doesn't taste terribly young. The spirit and the wood arrive hand-in-hand quite slowly, but then turn towards a prolonged, full development.
More of that wood spice, leading to a drying finish. Lingering cinnamon and dried fruit notes.
Great stuff! Well worth the $25 for the 200ml bottle that I picked up. Hopefully Tasmanian sprits become more common and more affordable here in the States.
