Description

 

Colour : Rich amber gold.

Nose : An intensely sweet satin smooth malt with overtones of vanilla, almond meal, sweet Jaffa orange all intermingled with rich dark chocolate.

Palate : The pallet is recognisant of spiced orange Turkish Delight with a fresh mouth cleansing zestyness all intermingled with fresh malty cereal and chunky oak. Rich and sweet but not clawing. A brilliant balance of sensations..

Finish : The finish is deep and enveloping with lingering malt richness.

JIM MURRAY’S WHISKY BIBLE TASTING NOTES
Bakery Hill Classic Malt, Cask Strength.60%
Score 96/100
“As the 46% version, only here just about every aspect is more vivid, the flavours brighter – polished by the most sublime oils which offer also a degree of spice…Just pour, and nose and taste at body temperature and you’ll never see Australian whisky quite the same way again.
Young, barely pubescent but sheer, unadulterated class”.
