Dram

Nose: Strawberry jam, raisins, vanilla, damson jam, sandalwood, wheat beer. 
Mouthfeel: Heavy body, tingly, turns airy, mouth coating. 
Tasting:  Sweet salty. Wheat beer, malted grains, raisins, cinnamon, rye bread, black pepper. 
Finish: Medium. Sea salt, malted grains, wheat beer, rye bread, black pepper. 

Comments: 

Quite sweet, and despite being a single malt, has some peppery rye notes. Unusual, and flavourful, it’s a good example of Tasmanian whisky, despite its young age.

Verdict:

I like this.
