Woodwater Tawny Australian Whisky

Age: 3 years and 3 months
Type: 100L French Oak, Heavy Char
Cask No: W12
Cask Origin: Chapel Hill, McLaren Vale, SA
Mash Bill: Dual (Crystal roasted malt / Export pilsner)
Distilling Premise: MVD

Woodwater secured one of the final few Tawny casks left at the Chapel Hill Winery and had it cut down and heavily charred.

The dual grain mash bill was the first and to date the only time that Woodwater did a 50/50 split of a heavy roasted malt and their base malt.

The result of this cask and mash combo brings a divine, dark earthy tone rich and full in character.

Nose: Golden Syrup opens up to a dark bitter chocolate. Stewed stone-fruits, Danish pastry, black forest cake and glace cherries present. Wine gums, and lastly an earthy almost tree bark aroma rounds it out.

Palate: Initially quite soft. Marzipan and raisins upfront that quickly lead into a warming mouthfeel with more dark chocolate and then big oak profiles. Pepper and spice.

Finish: Light treacle, oak, orange rind and dark choc.

ABV 50.3% 700mL
