    Bladnoch The Dragon Series Iteration II The Spirit Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Lowlands, SCOTLAND
    Reduced from $220.00
    $119. 99
    Bottle
    $1439.88 Dozen
    ABV: 48.3%

    Number two in Bladnoch's Dragon Series, named 'The Spirit', captures the first stage of distillery production, taking the malted barley from the field through three pivotal processes: mashing, fermentation, and distillation. Each step amplifies the potential for variability, with numerous factors like gravities, temperatures, and cut points requiring an understanding by whisky makers, ensuring the consistent quality of the new make spirit. The resulting floral and fruity distillery character then moves on to the next stage – maturation in oak. Bottled at 48.3% ABV, 'Spirit' was drawn from a blend of first-fill and re-fill bourbon casks. On the nose, you might find pear drops with fresh cut grass, typical of Lowland styles. On the palate, expect malted cereals with boiled sweets and a hint of cracked pepper, while the finish is refreshing yet warm. In short, "a nice ex-bourbon profile." 2000 bottles produced.

    Other reviews... We had rather enjoyed The Field I earlier this year (WF 85). They say 'The Dragon Series is a tribute to the timeless power struggle between science and nature' An idea that's no doubt causing quite a stir over in Washington D.C. these days. Colour: very pale white wine. Nose: dry as a stick, showing plenty of grassiness, porridge, a fair few oatcakes and a touch of earthy roots. A smattering of very small pears over in the fruit department, which speaks of youth. Mouth: fruity notes of barley syrup and baked apples to start, then we're back on porridge and grains, the whole thing growing more malty and rather taut as it goes. A few fruits that haven’t quite ripened, but that's just how we like it. The texture is on the oily side. Finish: of medium length, returning to grassy tones with hints of lemon zest. Comments: the focus on nature is clearly present, it would have gone down well with J.J. Rousseau. I just find this simply very good. 85 points. - whiskyfun.com

    Bladnoch The Dragon Series Iteration V The Decision Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Lowlands, SCOTLAND
    Reduced from $220.00
    $119. 99
    Bottle
    $1439.88 Dozen
    ABV: 53.1%

    "the sweetest and most expressive of the whole series..." - whiskybase.com

    The iteration with the highest ABV at 53.1%, also marks the final instalment in Bladnoch's five part series. The Decision hones in on the skills involved in the sample room where the decisions are made for the final blends. Here, all the variabilities and unpredictabilities are considered and weighed against each other, with an eye on future prospects and a commitment to delivering a consistent and sustainable whisky experience. Sourced from a blend of Hungarian Tokaji wine casks and Spanish Canasta Sherry casks, says one taster, "It's a bit like mulled wine and gingerbread. Sweet and dry at the same time. Exciting." (whiskybase.com).

    Other reviews... This whisky is the sweetest and most expressive of the whole series, but with the surprisingly driest finish of all. It is quite sharp alcoholic thanks to the higher proportion of alcohol, but at the same time there is something gingerbread spicy and quite distinct sweet sherry... I quite liked it. I'm glad that I could pre-taste the entire Dragon series, but at the same time I'm glad that I didn't buy the whole bottles or the whole set... - whiskybase.com

    Rich, succulent black fruits framed by firm, chewy tannins which impart a muscular feel.

    Run by Laurent Charvin this small family estate has vineyard holdings of 8 hectares in Chateauneuf du Pape and 13 hectares in Cotes du Rhone. Certified organic the average age of the vines is over 50 years old. These Grenache based wines follow traditional winemaking techniques with no de-stemming and all aging takes place in cement tanks. Charvin’s Côtes du Rhône is regularly rated as one of the very best from this area and perhaps it is not surprising as the vines for this cuvee border directly on to the appellation for Chateauneuf du Pape in the northern sector where they are located.
    Deep dark red black core with a dark red hue. Seductive black raspberry, liquorice and black cherry scents sail out of the glass with impressive lift. Scorched earth, herbs du Provence and peppered meat notes ensue. Rich, succulent black raspberry, liquorice and ripe black cherry fruits engulf the mouth framed by firm, chewy tannins which impart a muscular feel.

    Yalumba's Virgilius Viognier remains a benchmark for the variety in Australia. Expressive but so finely focused and precise, nothing blown out of proportion, no mean feat with this persnickety variety. Tautly stretched citrus fruits with a whiff of apricot kernel and hints of white flowers, crushed stone, almond meal, white flowers, some distant marzipan and clover blossom. Stony-pure on the palate with a lovely bright mineral cadence and a dry, enduring finish. Drink by 2034.

Wafting from the glass are seductive aromas of dark plum, blackcurrant, dark chocolate and liquorice which are interwoven with earthy fennel, vanillin cedar and spice notes. Rich and velvety the palate has an opulent flow of dark plum, liquorice, blackcurrant and dark chocolate fruits.

    A veritable fruit salad of classic red varieties here with Shiraz dominant (59%), supported by Cabernet Sauvignon (33%), Cabernet Franc (6%) and Merlot (2%). The fruit comes from the Barossa Valley (40%) and Eden Valley (60%). Maturation was for twenty months in a combination of French and American hogsheads, with 20% of the French oak new. A vibrant dark maroon hue, the nose exhibits notes of coffee beans, mocha, kirsch, tobacco leaves, bergamot, cassis, cold tea and licorice. This is elegant and yet with intensity. Exciting stuff. Balanced, focused, fresh and energetic, there are silky tannins and momentous length. This will drink beautifully for at least fifteen years. As good a Euphonium as I can recall. Drink 2025-2040.

    This is classically styled but on the expressive and textural end of things, even at what is relatively modest alcohol, with acidity a key driver. Plump with varietal pear notes (both Williams and Bosc), red apple skin, cinnamon and poached apple. This has rolling layers of fruit marked by both generosity – of flavour and feel – and enough reserve, making it an eminently pleasing drink sans food, but also one that will happily hold its own with dishes fresh and bright to those with a bit more weight and fatty intensity. This bottling was an early benchmark for the grape here, and still is. Drink by 2029.

    Intense and textural with a long zesty finish.

    Fiano originates from a province in Campania, east of Naples and it’s perfectly suited to the McLaren Vale climate, so much so that it has become the regions fastest growing white wine category. Coriole planted Fiano in 2001 and their first commercial release was the 2005 vintage.
    Fifteen percent of the blend was barrel fermented in older French hogsheads.

    Brilliant pale straw colour with a watery hue. Fresh lime and Granny Smith apple scents jump out of the glass followed by hints of pear, subtle Mediterranean herb and mineral notes. Crunchy pear, lime and green apple fruits are delivered with plenty of intensity and textural volume over a back drop of mediterranean herbs and minerals. Zesty acidity leading into a long, snappy finish.

    Mostly in tank, but also some complex-making nuances, with a small fraction seeing concrete ferment, some with a day or so on skins, a little in older oak – bit parts, perhaps, but all contributing meaningfully. Golden apples, fragrantly lilting orchard blossoms, quince, peach, green pear, citrus pith, both lemon and orange-skinned citrus, a mandarin/tangerine vein. It’s an effortless thing, easily textural, yet also crisp, with a lot of love to give. Drink by 2025.

    Juicy, rich and powerful with a long super succulent finish.

    This old vine Grenache was crafted from three blocks on Yalumba’s Tri-Centenary Vineyard, planted in 1929, 1949 and 1979 located in the tiny Barossa Valley sub region of Vine Vale. The three blocks were wild fermented together with 30% whole bunch fruit. Maturation took place in older French oak puncheons for a period of 6 months.
    Semi translucent dark red core with black shaded edges and a vibrant crimson red hue. Captivating red to dark raspberry, red liquorice and cherry scents evolve from the glass with ample intensity. Spicy clove, scorched earth and peppered fennel elements lend further interest. Juicy dark raspberry, liquorice and ripe dark cherry fruits engulf the mouth. Outstanding richness and power with vanillin spice, subtle clove, earth and peppered dried herb elements also chiming in.

    Consistently one of my favourite Australian Grenache, and each year I look forward to seeing what it reveals. In this case, the season was very good and it comes from old vines planted in 1929 and 1949. The colour is quite pale crimson, and the body more light than medium. But the aromas are just the start. Strawberry, rose petal, a little spice, raspberry, and a touch of dried herb. The palate is so vibrant and red-fruited, with a crunchy fine acidity sustaining that slightly fleshy, plush, velvety smooth mid-palate. I’m loving it. Drink 2025 – 2032.

    Yalumba do good things with grenache, that's for sure. This sandy soils of Vine Vale at the base of the Eastern Range are just perfect for the variety, too. They coax the high tones and detail out of the variety that I just love. Supple red cherry, dark plum and raspberry fruits cut with exotic spice, subtle bunchy nuance, cola, gingerbread, citrus blossom and earth. Savoury and great drinking with powdery tannin and tail of raspberry, red cherry and spice. Drink by 2035.

    Rich and sumptuous with a youthful freshness, robust structure and long, dense conclusion.

    Chris Hatcher, affectionately known as Hatch, has been a winemaker for almost 50 years including more than 35 years at Wolf Blass where he picked up numerous awards including the Jimmy Watson Trophy and three time IWSC international winemaker of the year. Having recently retired from the corporate winemaking scene Hatch has embarked on his own personal venture for which his first releases have received widespread critical acclaim.

    A blend of several vineyards across the Mclaren Vale region, Vesey takes its name from Chris Hatcher’s great-grandfather Alf Vesey who started winemaking at Penfolds in 1883. He worked at Magill for an amazing 69 years and was the Master Winemaker for 47 of those years during which time he famously mentored Max Schubert, the creator of Penfolds Grange.

    Super saturated inky black heart with an equally deep dark purple black hue. Heady ripe blackberry, liquorice and dark plum scents waft through the nostrils complimented by some ripe blueberry, toasty vanillin cedar and peppered earth notes. Rich, sumptuous blackberry, liquorice and dark plum fruits are delivered with impressive intensity and opulence. Spicy vanillin cedar, earth, subtle dark chocolate and peppered fennel elements the back drop. Powerful and carrying a slightly muscular feel it has sturdy yet polished tannins and a youthful freshness. Concludes long and dense with a robust structure.
    Drink over the next 8-10 years.

    It is one of those things, that when you get good fruit and a good winemaker, good things happen. This is a good thing, a very good thing. It’s a blend of several McLaren Vale vineyards made with largely traditional techniques and using a mix of predominantly seasoned French oak but with an important contribution of American oak and a little new French. It’s beautifully soft and supple but there is a chalky acidity and fine tannin structure providing definition and direction. Love the complementary characters of red and black fruits with the seductive perfumes of blueberry. Drink 2024-2034.

    Rich and long yet light on its feet with a sophisticated Burgundian like finish.

    The crown jewel in the Dalrymple collection, the Mt. Lord Vineyard is located on a small, angular and varied landscape that lays on the protected easterly slope of the Pontos Hills. The vineyard rows run up the hillside from 134m to 156m above sea level, precariously positioned between a rock ledge below and steep barren hillside above.
    The fruit was handpicked with a small amount of the bunches placed directly into the ferment. Maturation took place in French oak barriques (30% new) for a period of 10 months.

    Dark red core with black toned edges and a semi translucent red hue. Soaring through the nostrils is a complex array or red to dark cherry, strawberry, violet, rhubarb, dried herb and gentle clove aromatics. Bramble, forest floor and spice notes are also evident. Rich and long yet light on its feet, red to dark cherry, flashes of sour cherry, wild strawberry and rhubarb flavours are layered across the expansive palate. Spicy vanillin cedar, bramble, dried herb and forest floor elements lend further interest. Possessing a supple texture and peacocks tail like power wave, it has seamlessly integrated tannins and acidity with a long, sophisticated Burgundian like finish.
    Drink over the next 6-8 years.

    Deep-ish red with a tinge of purple and a bouquet of black cherry with traces of beetroot and Campari—perhaps from whole-bunch fermentation. The wine is full and generous, even opulent on the palate, with terrific power and density thanks to high extract and concentrated fruit. The tannins are abundant and supple, surrounding a deep core of rich flavour. Long and super-satisfying aftertaste. A seriously impressive pinot and a big step up from the previous vintage.

    Mark Walpole loves sangiovese and the feeling is reciprocated. This is a mighty strong follow-up to the '23, fairly bristling in cherry-fruited and aromatic brightness and crunch in youth, with an underlying brooding quality that says, 'just wait.' A smidge (5%) of the Tuscan colorino red grape adds to the iridescence of the cherry red, bright hues. Aromas rise in wild raspberries, red cherries, plum, florals, cumin, fennel seed, red earth and spice. The palate is nicely weighted, with brisk acid crunch, and is both upbeat and alive in spiced cherry, red fruits and an underlying savouriness of Campari, dried herbs, licorice and mineral earthiness. Potential? You bet! Drink by 2033.

    5% Colorino in the mix. Aged in large casks for 10 months. I recall I had this a few months ago (May25) at The Malaya (Sydney) which has a fine selection of wines, peppered with a liberal selection from local distributor AJ Wine Merchants.
    Has plenty of Sangiovese character, with red cherry and strawberry, a little lemon zest and dried herb, almond, a nutty and rosy perfume. It’s medium-bodied, quite sappy and lively, a little grainy grip to tannin, juicy red fruits, again that lightly nutty thing, with a bright finish of good length. Excellent wine. A great food style too. Drink 2025-2032.

    A dry, exotically flavoured white that has a zingy feel to it.

    Although Malbec and Mendoza are the best known names in Argentine winemaking, Torrontés is taking centre stage a few hundred miles to the northwest, in the Cafayate region of Salta. It is believed that varietal was brought to the country by Spanish Jesuits in the 18th century.
    Torrontés is found in the world’s highest vineyards, resting at 5,000 to 6,000 feet above sea level in Argentina. The high altitude growing conditions translate beautifully to bright floral aromas and delightfully crisp acidity in the wine.
    Brilliant water like core with highlights of green around the edges. Aromas of pear, lychee and rosewater jump from the glass followed by a faint whiff of musk and some ginger notes. Mouth watering lychee, lime and pear fruits line the palate with infusions of rosewater and ginger also chiming in. Crunchy acidity with a dry exotic finish that has a zingy feel to it.

    Concentrated, tense and steely with a long, bracing finish.

    Brokenwood’s ILR Reserve Semillon is released only from the best years. The fruit for this year’s ILR Reserve was sourced from the Oakey Creek Vineyard on Oakey Creek Road in the heart of Pokolbin. The Oakey Creek Vineyard was first planted in 1982 by the pioneering Drayton’s family and is today one of the Hunter Valley’s most awarded sites.
    Brilliant very pale straw colour with green tinted edges and a watery hue. Intense lemon and lime scents carry a gentle oily toast like overlay with some Granny Smith apple, bees wax and slatey mineral notes also chiming in. Driving lemon, lime and green apple skin flavours overlay a subtle oily toast, delicate bees wax and flinty mineral back drop. Concentrated, tense and steely with crisp acidity creating a chiselled effect across the long, bracing finish.

    This wine is an unmistakable ILR and is one of the season's highlights. Alluring smoky tones and hints of lanolin adorn the ripe, lemony fruit. The sweet-natured palate is generous, flavoursome and powerful with moreish lemon butter tones. The rate of progression in this wine is driven by the warmth of the '18 season. That said, it is no less lovely, and the upside is that it's ready to drink now, so you won't need to wait years to enjoy it. Drink by 2028.

    Toni Paterson – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion

    Always one of the superstars of Hunter Valley Semillon, the ILR is never released without at least a good five years ageing under its belt, at which time it is usually just beginning to show the glories that are ahead of it. The vineyard source varies from vintage to vintage, depending on which shines best – so if none measure up, then no ILR. This vintage is from the Oakey Creek vineyard, planted in 1982 and which the team purchased in 2021, although they have been sourcing fruit from it for several decades. This is a cracking ILR, indeed a cracking Hunter Sem, and, while it is drinking impressively now, has two decades of improvement ahead of it. A lemon/green hue. Early days, but already some appealing complexity. There are hints of lemon butter on toast, but surely much more to come. There are notes of figs and stone fruits and limes. Even that whiff of ginger. Immaculate balance, bright acidity, ideal focus and impressive length, this is a wine which has so much more to offer in the coming years. And whilst one can never confirm or deny such matters, it is entirely possible that, as I sit and write up all today’s tasting notes, there is a chilled glass of this very wine next to me. But, as they say, I couldn’t possibly confirm that. Drink 2024-2044.

    This would have to be one of the front-runners for the most loved and recognisable rosés in Australia, amiright? Fruit characters of raspberry, redcurrant and ruby-red grapefruit with a cheeky splash of cranberry and watermelon for good measure. Some strawberry, too, on the palate, plus citrus zest, just a hint of spice and wildflower top notes. Dry, slinky and dangerously drinkable; it sure is easy to see why this is such a crowd favourite.

    Bordeaux blend from Bordeaux, but matured in both French and American oak. Made using 56% cabernet sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, and 41% merlot. 35% new French oak, 17% new American oak. I listed the price last year at $120. This year the RRP is $100.
    Iodine, garrique herbs, ropes of smoky tannin, cloves, herbs and cream. So much assertion to the tannin, so much rust and blood. This wine identifies as Penfolds but is still very French. Personally, I love it. It’s a wine of creamy, curranty flamboyance but also of character. No one likes putting a high score on a “Bordeaux Penfolds” wine but I’m happy to here.

    A delicious example of the famous Rhône blend done McLaren Vale style. Three parcels from different vineyards across McLaren Vale have been blended after fermentation in small open fermenters, before ten months maturation in older French oak hogsheads. The name refers to the two gentlemen, *** and *, who founded ***. An inky dark maroon hue, the nose gives us notes of black fruits, mocha, coffee beans, cloves and leather with a sweet core of chocolate. This is bold, rich and ripe, with silky tannins and a lingering finish. An excellent McLaren Vale red which will bring joy over the next four to eight years. Drink 2024-2032.

    "An amazing dram at an amazing price." - whiskybase.com

    This deeply coloured, oloroso sherry cask-matured whisky pays homage to the lush landscapes and tranquil beauty of the Speyside region. The label design settled for just the one deer, starting with a young buck, getting older, and more dignified, as the whiskies aged, finishing with the dominant stag who has been through some scrapes in his life; older, wiser, and looks a little pissed with everything! Since the 8 year old, the deer is a little more grown up this time around, and has gained a few ‘pints’ on his antlers. Expect aromas and flavours of caramelised nuts, honey-baked dates, orchard fruits, flamed orange peel, and smoky oak that greet the senses with a gentle embrace. A small batch release of circa 1,000 litres. 45.8% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.

    Other reviews... Taste is potent, rounded. Again lots of caramel. Quite simplistic but big, punchy and rich. Touch of salted caramel and bitter oak on the finish. I’m conscious that I haven’t written down many taste comparators – it’s because the palate is really quite simplistic. Leads in with that same orange-laced caramel from the aroma and then moves on to that bitter oak and salted caramel, woody burnt wafer, and that’s all I really have to say. Lingers a long time on the palate. Sure the casks have taken over the spirit, but what good casks at the price. I’m getting lots of rich oak from this – not what I associate with sherry seasoning (even if that is the case, this is a rare example of how to do it well). Really well put-together. Certainly worth considering... - whiskybase.com

    Following the tradition of a classic London Dry, this spirit boasts a strong bouquet of earthy spices, coriander seed and piney juniper.

    It has exuberant aromas of dried pineapple, apricots and dried herbs. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, saline and concentrated, with a long, savory finish. A blend of encruzado and bical with 20% from an old white field blend. 30% is fermented and aged in used barrels and the rest in stainless steel. Incredible value. Drink now.

    A blend of encruzado, bical, malvasia fina, cerceal – an exotic array of varieties, though apt in Dão and from older sites.

    A chewy, waxy number with lemon oil, preserved lime, some lime pickle and dill notes, touches of sea spray, peanut, pickled ginger and brine. Quite a bit of flavour and pucker to texture, a good energy, a gastronomic wine in some respects, where more is happening than just refreshment factor. Plenty of charm in that respect, it would be great on a degustation or similar. Drink 2025-2030.

    Aged in 1 new French oak hogshead and old American oak. Shows impressive poise from the get go, with ripe, sweet black fruits accompanied by a strong savoury, earthy, meaty thread. Medium weight, rich in wood spice and dark chocolate, finishing in fine, commanding tannins. A cellaring specialist. Drink by 2033.

    ABV: 45%

    Another 'Proof' variation is added to this eye-catching squat bottle lineup, produced by Sazerac at the Barton Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. Others in this series have punched well-above their weight. Rumour has it the age statements are dropping off. This one still has the number '6' around the neck tag, so it's safe to assume you're still getting a decent Bourbon for your money, especially in this larger format. 45% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... Gorgeous whiskey, though, perhaps not the tour de force of previous bottlings. 92 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2024

    $335.88 Dozen

    Born from the vibrant spirit of our founder’s late mother and the cherished family moments with her orange trees in their backyard, Heidi’s Orange Bitters is crafted in small batches in Wyong by a father-son pair using Orange Peel and Lemon Myrtle. This inspiration led to a bitters that balances zesty freshness with a subtle, complex depth, making it a versatile companion for both classic and modern cocktails. Start with just a few dashes – the vibrant flavour of Australian orange peel and lemon myrtle means a little goes a long way. Try it in classics like an Old Fashioned or Negroni to lift and freshen the profile, or add it to sparkling water for a refreshing twist.
