Tasting Notes
Imagine the sweet aroma of pancakes drizzled with maple syrup, accompanied by the tantalizing scent of pineapple fritters and a hint of woody oak. That's the delightful nosing experience you'll encounter with the Launceston 5 Year Old whisky. On the palate, it's a delightful symphony of sweet banana bread notes, enveloped in a creamy caramel embrace, with a touch of herbaceous malt hiding beneath the surface. As you savor each sip, waves of vanilla wash over your taste buds, leading to a velvety finish where elegant oak char and a medley of baking spices linger delightfully. This single malt, aged for five years in a bourbon barrel and bottled at cask strength, is a true celebration of local ingredients and craftsmanship, hailing from the historic Hangar 17 distillery in Tasmania. Whether the label's claim of Tasmanian devils as distillers is true or not, one thing is certain – this whisky is a splendid addition to any whisky lover's collection.
