Nose: Raisins, sultanas, malt, wine. Acetone and a little sulphur. Palate: Big arrival, winey and malty in spades. Figs, spice, earth and some barrel char. It develops a cardboard note after a while. Finish: Medium. Malt, fruit and the varnish/acetone note returns. The distillate was sourced from a distillery in South Australia and racked into two reconditioned casks that were seasoned with red wine and sherry, and then matured at a distillery in NSW. This was an OK whisky, but not an exceptional one, and it showed a couple of less than wonderful traits I sometimes get from a certain distillery's expressions. At the asking price I would not buy a bottle. “Average”: 79/100 (2.75 stars)
