QUIRKY, KOOKY, FUNKY

This 17 year old from the Southern Highlands comes in at 56.2% after maturing in a 2nd fill barrel.

Flavour profile:  Juicy, oak & vanilla.

Outturn:  250 bottles.

Panel's tasting note:  "This is a bit of an oddball, straight out of left field – it may be kooky but it’s cooking with gas, idiosyncratic but copacetic – the nose has cereal and grassy notes, biscuits (digestives, lemon puffs, Hobnobs) and sherbet lemons; putty, clean plastic, emulsion, sanded wood and cigar ash. The palate is sweet and viscous with more biscuity flavours, but also quirky, funky features – anise, cinnamon, sorrel, Angostura and faux leather. Water makes it creamier and sweeter, both in the nose and on the palate – the latter finding a wink and an inkling of Haribo Tangfastic fizz."
