Bakery Hill Eldorado Second Edition Single Malt Australian Whisky (500ml)

Taking a slightly different route from the previous release, this year's El Dorado was filled into a Seppeltsfield Barossa Valley Apera cask for eighteen months before a final maturation in an ex-Bourbon barrel for just on three years. An immediate richness to the nose yields vanilla, caramel fudge and date cake, perfectly mirrored on the palate where there's also fabulous mouthfeel and balance, the whisky finishing with hints of salted crackers, bittersweet dark chocolate, American oak shavings and wood spices. Despite the dessert themed profile, big malt remains at its core. Alongside a handful of single casks, this is one of the most impressive Bakery Hills we've tasted in recent years. 345 bottles at 55% Alc./Vol.
