William McHenry & Sons Three Capes 10 Year Old Single Malt Whisky (700ml)

There are 18 whisky distilleries in Australia and 8 of those are in Tasmania. William McHenry & Sons is the world’s most southern family owned and operated distillery, located at Port Arthur. Mr. McHenry's current range consists of a 10-year-old single malt under a Three Capes label, distilled and aged by Patrick Maguire at the Tasmanian Distillery in Cambridge, plus a triple-distilled vodka and a dry gin.

Tasting note: Pale straw gold appearance. Opening aromas are wax-like followed by some off key notes that seem to be in the sulphury spectrum. Old boiled cabbage, dank cardboard, pickled onions? There’s a pleasant sweetness that emerges with significant aeration however it remains muted. Light to medium bodied, a mild bitterness is evident at mid palate that accentuates into the finish. Warm, spicy mouthfeel. Shortish aftertaste. 43.5% Alc./Vol.
