Shene Estate Distillery Mackey Enigma Single Malt Australian Whisky (700ml)

Another triple distilled, heavily sherried Mackey, matured in Apera and Tawny casks, then finished in premium Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez casks from Jerez de la Frontera in Andalusia, Spain. Awarded a double Gold Medal at the 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. 49% Alc.Vol. Non chill filtered.

Other reviews... Nose: a little drier, with a tad more oak char and fresh oak shavings, getting a little plankish. Less of the coffee darkness underneath. More tart fruits this time, like redcurrants and blood orange. Rum and raisins. Still a coppery note and leather. Mouth: this seems a little fruitier, perhaps because of the triple distillation. Lots of red berries, raspberry jam, oranges and a refreshing acidity. Here as well the darkest layer (chocolate, maple) is hardly noticeable. This also lets more room for the woody flavours, which are slightly dominant. Finish: long, dry, on over-infused tea, blackberry leafs and some tannins. This is essentially the same style as before, simply because there’s so much Apera / sherry influence. If you prefer to have less PX sweetness and don’t mind a heavy woody side, then this is the better one for you. I personally prefer the roundness of the Elixir of Life. - whiskynotes.be
