NED The Wanted Series Daring Australian Whisky (500ml)

Volume: 500ml         ABV: 43%         Age: No Age Statement         Country: Australia

The Wanted Series is a premium range of Australian whiskies from the NED Barrel House. The DARING of NED is inspired when Ned Kelly rounded up the inhabitants of the Glenrowan Inn, he made a choice to throw caution to the wind. They were allowed to play games, drink and dance. DARING has been blended from four exceptional barrels by NED’s Master and Head Distillers. The barrels, comprising two from NED’s Heritage 200-litre collection and two from a special stash of 500-litre European oak, were matured separately and then expertly blended to deliver a super premium Australian Whisky of strength and complexity.

Barrels

NED hand select the barrels to bring power and elegance to the final bottle.  New American oak is punchy, powerful, and rich. European oak is structured, with dry tannin and elegance.  The American oak barrels give up generous oak sweetness and loads of wood flavours.  The 500lt European oak age more slowly, giving mellower spirit, less intense oak, but allow the higher fruit notes to shine.
