“This year’s Christmas release is a combination of four Australian Tawny Casks.
The core of the whisky is two 100L Tawny casks that were matured for around six years and provide a great depth and complexity of flavour with great integration between the spirit and the oak. We have paired these older 100L casks with two younger 20L casks that provide balance and brightness to the whisky.
We have selected these casks because they create a flavour profile that we found reminiscent of Christmas, with plenty of Plum Pudding, Florentines, and Brandy Custard.” -OKD
Cask Type: Tawny
ABV: 47%
Aroma: A rich and complex nose is initially dominated by malt, dates, and oak before the complexity of dried orange peel, red currant, and spiced cherries become more prominent with time. Florentine biscuits with plenty of nuts and chocolate continue to develop.
Palate: A rich, sweet, and silky palate with plum pudding, malt, citrus peel at the fore.
Finish: The finish brings in plenty of oak and pantry spices and a almost overcooked toffee with a slight oak char to round out the whisky.
