Cape Byron ‘The Original’ Australian Single Malt Whisky 700ml
GOLD MEDAL: San Francisco World Spirits Competition
Cape Byron's signature expression, aged in American oak ex-bourbon casks.
The colour of a Byron Bay sunset. The palate offers soft vanilla, crème brulee, and biscotti characters, layered over distinct notes of pear, coconut and buttery macadamia.
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
