Since first tasting Paul Hletko's delicious White Whiskey late last year, we've been eagerly anticipating his first barrel aged efforts. His Single Malt has just hit the Australian market. Made from 100% malted barley, it was aged in x rye and bourbon barrels for one year.

Tasting note: Deep gold / polished brass appearance. A sweet botanical edge to the opening sniff (think thyme / tumeric) recedes into attractive scents of dark chocolate, hessian sack and empty Bourbon barrel. Several minutes aeration lends an added Bourbonesque slant with charry vanillan oak and dilute maple syrup to the fore. Quite dry and woody, even herbal on entry (thyme again?) followed by some attractive vanilla and cocoa moments that balance the initial stages with late sweetness. Odd, engaging and difficult to pin down - and all the better for it! 46.5% Alc./Vol.
