Tasting note: [20ml sample] Usually people sit on waiting lists for years to do a barrel pick, however WHA were lucky to gain access via a relationship with a local importer. The team traveled to Kentucky in May 2019, tasting their way through several barrels until they found the perfect whiskey. For many, Bourbon is all about good American oak. What you get here reflects something extra. The wood is clearly first class, but there’s layers beyond: Stay with it and you'll find anise, bounty bar, vanilla bean, caramel fudge, sandalwood, hints of rose water and more. It’s also a Bourbon of serious structure and body; completely mouth filling yet proportioned and relaxed at the same time. Sappy oak keeps it taut, but the sustained finish sweeps everything aside in a sensational surge of sugars and high-fidelity, oily, rye-fuelled spice, demonstrating the character you associate with spirits of a rare calibre. If you’re looking to take your experience of Bourbon to another level, get this. Kudos to the team at WHA for making the effort for Australia's (American) whiskey fans. 62.5% Alc./Vol.
