Australian exclusive un-peated single 1833, selected and
bottled for Australia only. Matured in Bourbon Cask for 7 Years in Goa climate,
60% Alc./Vol.
NOSE: Such an earthy nose: there are even
hints of stewed (unsalted) celery and battles between dry molasses and spices.
This one is very intense malt whisky
Taste: Unlike on nose, the sugars are not only
first out the traps, but second & third, also. The first to arrive is
splendid gristy maltiness which sets the tone. Just behind comes ulmo honey
with its subtle vanillas followed by a liquorice-treacle mix. Slowly the mouth
is filled by a gentle spiced smokiness, so subtle that those simply
concentrating on the sugars may not be aware of its intensifying effect.
Finish: The oils are so softly spoken early on; you hardly
notice the way they gently carry the narrative beyond the gathering tannins
right through to the finish. Which is a long way away
