Hobart Cask Strength Chardonnay Cask Finish Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky (500ml)
Volume: 500ml ABV: 56.4% Age: No Age Statement Country: Australia
Situated in Hobart, Tasmania this family owned independent distillery was founded in 2014 and started producing in 2015. The distillery has been flying under the radar for quite a while now whilst creating enough stock to supply the high demand the market is throwing at them. Initially released as single cask bottlings the distillery is now concentrating on more consistent offerings. The distillery production is all performed in-house and maturation is predominantly in American oak ex-bourbon casks sourced from the United States. It’s these barrels that give Hobart whisky its edge on other distilleries. Whilst Apera and Fortified wine barrels are more commonly used in the Australian industry Hobart whisky uses the ex-bourbon barrels for initial maturation and then if required applies a finish of another barrel type to create a range of whisky unlike any other in Australia.
Initially matured in ex-bourbon barrels for a period of time and then finished for six months in an ex-Chardonnay cask. To then harmonise the palate and balance the Chardonnay’s acidity, the Master Distiller has given this whisky an additional finish in a Rum cask for a month, introducing a touch of sweetness and tropical warmth. Bottled at 56.4% ABV. Only 176 bottles created.
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: Creamy caramel notes at first lead to orchard fruits of ripe pears and apples, clean and fresh with a hint of candy floss and soft orange blossom.
Palate: Stone fruits and creamy vanilla, tropical fruit notes emerge with toasted oak and freshly baked pastries.
Finish: Long with initial warmth and tang, smooth and creamy with white grapes and toasted oak.
