Description
An oaky, smoky, cola-influenced single malt that plays on a cult classic, our Limited Release Chinotto Cask is an unexpected journey of zest and zeal.
In a moment of experimental creativity, Head Distiller Chris Thomson turned to a locally-made, Italian-style carbonated beverage, Chinotto, to season a selection of casks. Our spirit’s thick, smoky viscosity melded seamlessly with the sweet intensity of the Chinotto, creating an unconventional heavily-peated single malt with a Tasmanian-Italian heritage.
TASTING NOTES
Nose
Thick and rich. Fresh vanilla beans, barley wine, and malted milkshakes. Sweet earthy peat and a fresh hint of lemon zest and Sassafras.
Palate
Hits sweet and spreads like warm oil. Gingerbread, charred citrus, cinnamon, wattleseed, cola, and an earthy hint of peat and toasted barley
Finish
Finishes dry and sweet peat dominates the senses. Oak, coffee, cola, and wattleseed, with some lingering orange oil and dark chocolate.
