Waipu Pizza Barn (NZ) was good enough to have one of these (sold out) bottles in the bar which I couldn’t say no to, and man it was great. I really think Smokey peaty drams are growing on me.
This one instantly takes me to a smouldering camp fire, with hints of caramel and coconut toasted marshmallows. Tasting it initially is sweet and soft on the tongue - a real pleasure, then it opens up to a salty and very Smokey flavour. Like the whiskey was soaked in last nights fireplace coals! A long and peppery finish, and after trying both neat and with a couple of drops of water - the water was the preferred option for the finish.
There were only 42,000 bottles available, and you can’t get them from the source anymore - so if you find it, best try it!
