Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Tasting notes by Billy A
Nose
Sweetshop notes leap out of the glass – tins of travel sweets and candy necklaces – accompanied by candied flowers, spiced sponge cake with butter icing and jam filling, sugar-dusted puff pastry, sultanas and a touch of gooey caramel.
Palate
Thick and sweet, with golden-syrup sandwiches (on brown bread), malt loaf, ginger cake, speculaas and lebkuchen biscuits, and a background hint of black liquorice. As that calms down, the liquorice slowly becomes more minty and mentholy, with a touch of milk chocolate and cherry jam sneaking in around the sides.
Finish
Fresh and leafy to start, with mint slowly fading to a sweet and chocolatey end.
Comment
While the spiciness on the palate suggests that this whisky is youthful, it has definitely picked up a lot of flavour in its time in wood and combines freshness with complexity. There's a marked contrast between nose, palate and finish, but each element works well. I'm a fan.
Producer's Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber.
Nose
Ripe orchard fruits: pears, bananas and apples with vinous raisins and dried figs. Caramel, vanilla and marzipan balance the fruit.
Palate
Filled with rich, toasty caramel, creme brulee, more fruit, pepper, sandalwood, nutmeg and marzipan. A full, sweet, juicy mouthfeel.

My initial thought as I opened from the Advent Calendar was: Aussie whisky? Really? A first for me for sure… colour was encouraging - more apple juice than pee. I could smell the Quality Street on the noise and the taste was equally lovely - right balance of sweet and tang leading into lingering depth. Very, very good
This is very complex for a no age whisky and smooth as well. Nose: vanilla, tropical fruits, Banana, cherry , orange, raisin. Taste: Malt,Vanilla, cherry, Raisin and a smooth spice. Finish: Is Long and incredible, Malt, Dark Chocolate, Jaffa/Orange.
First time I’ve tasted a whisky from Australia and it didn’t disappoint. A sweet and well rounded nose. On the palate I got caramel, dark chocolate and macaroons. I highly recommend giving this one a try.
A beautifully rounded and mellow whisky. Rich and sugary on the palate
Rich, nutty and sweet - like biscuits in a glass! I've ordered my second bottle already.
