Character & style
This is n't a classic Scotch malt . Expect more intensity, more wood, and more concentration than with European whiskies of the same age. The sherry plays a leading role, carried by a robust, oily spirit.

Collection & investment perspective
Australian whisky remains a niche market . This bottle scores highly for both volume and quality, but is particularly appealing to adventurous drinkers and lovers of sherry-based whiskies . Less suitable as a pure investment, it's a characterful addition to a diverse collection.
