Backwoods Stout Cask Expression Australian Rye Whisky (500ml)

Leigh and Bree Attwood are the couple behind Backwoods Distilling Co., based just south of Albury in Yackandandah. The venture was inspired not by Scottish single malts or American rye classics, but by tasting Australian whiskies. The brand debuted in August 2020. Heritage Rye forms the basis of this four year old expression, along with a portion of malted barley and wheat. Maturation took place in a 200L ex-Whipper Snapper Corn Whisky Cask that held Bright Brewery Stout for 3-6 months.  47% Alc./Vol.

Notes from the producers... Nose:  Bright fresh cut pine, honey and coffee. Taste: Vanilla and chocolate ice cream. Finish: Long and sticky with a late touch of spice.
