Iniquity Flustercluck Too Australian Single Malt Whisky 700ml (ABV 50.5%)

Introduction

3 years in 2 x 100 litre American Oak Port casks, featuring Parawa peat smoke, then married with some 4 year old French Oak cask, un-peated.

Nose – Honey on burnt toast, varnish, lemon zest, woody campfire ash, danish pastry, redgum smoke, lollies, sea spray, licorice all sorts and musk lollies.

Palate – A lively lemon sherbet on a light but full mouthfeel. Some early alcohol burn commensurate with the 52% ABV that fades quickly. Floral notes, interrupted by waves of smoke. The balance would be perfect if the waves of flavour didn’t keep coming and going.

Finish – The finish is interesting with white pepper initially, followed by burnt, BBQ’d pineapple. After fading to a mild finish it comes back with late waves of earthy smoke and either plasticene or licorice. With a few drops of water this dram reaches a new level.
