Woodwater Chardonnay Cask Australian Whisky

Age: 4 years
Type: 100L French Oak, Medium Char
Cask No: WC6
Cask Origin: Geoff Hardy, McLaren Vale, SA
Mash Bill: Single (Export Pilsner)
Distilling Premise: MVD

The single mash bill was with a pilsner base malt, however, to be bolder Woodwater tried an extra creative step…During the spirit run of the distillation process, the fores and faints used came from a previous spirit run that was actually peated instead.

The result brings forth a beautiful buttery spirit with a smokey character integrating superbly to complement it further.

Nose: Freshly churned butter and light smoke present. Citrus zest, Marzipan and biscotti. Hints of vanilla and an touch of chamomile emerge. With warmth and time in the glass, grape skins and fresh oak appear.

Palate: Shortbread and cream meets smoke and pepper. Cured meats and charcuterie enter. Warmth and spice develop and tail off to White Oak.

Finish: Peat nuances present at the front but lead to light honey. Slightly drying oak.

ABV 51.3% 700mL
