Thought I'd have a lazy Sat arvo with a bit of Whittakers dark chocolate (fijian ginger and NZ mandarin) and thought why not pair it with a whiskey.
This one was a great match. Sweet green spiced oak, burnt toffee and a whole bunch more going on. It's abv belies a nice spicey punch which lingers long after the last drop is gone. At $75 fair to great value. Out of several drams tried today definitely the top.

@LeeEvolved Sorry to hear that it bit you but happy to hear you’re on the mend. Cheers to a speed(ier) recovery.
@LeeEvolved glad to hear you are on the mend! Hoping you get to crack a new bottle soon...
@LeeEvolved Good to hear you got through this, it really is a horrible experience. It took about one month before the sense of smell and taste returned for my wife, so there is hope. Usually, it returns gradually. All the best!
@LeeEvolved And yes lucky we are quite isolated and the govt was all over it like a rash so slowly opening up the economy again. Just an average of 3 new cases a day so under control for now
@LeeEvolved Ah no sorry to hear that. @Slainte-Mhath and his wife got really ill as well. Good to see your alive and hopefully on the mend. Yes it definitely sounds like it deserves a great bottle opened to celebrate!
I’m currently just getting over the Covid 19 virus. It’s been kicking my butt since the second week of April. Very nasty stuff. I’m anxiously waiting for my sense of smell and taste to return so I can open a tremendous bottle to celebrate the fact that I survived. I hope things have been going well down in NZ. Cheers, my friend.
@LeeEvolved Well hello hello I was just this week wondering what you were up to as you've been MIA for a while now!
