The cooler Tasmanian climate has the capacity to craft the perfect barrel of whisky, this is due to the diurnal range which is a fancy word for the temperate range between the maximum and the minimum. Corra Lin Distillery separates themselves from other distilleries because of the the barley that can be grown in Northern Tasmania particularly is distinct and unique in it’s flavour. Water in Tasmania is also some of the cleanest around the world, making it one of the purest ingredients of Tasmanian Whisky.
Single barrel 21 currently in stock, bottled at 53.4% abv, 27 bottles produced from this barrel.
Nose : Toasted Oak, light malt/grain notes, vanilla, cinnamon, banana, barley sugar, port soaked raisins.
Palate : Rich round spicy flavours penetrating both sides of the mouth giving great body feel, with definite sweet Christmas cake, port flavours coming through.
Finish : Oily and syrupy smooth finish, with the flavours of dark rich chocolate and raisin/stollen, and a hint of caramel that is soothing and lingers well.
