An Australian double-grain whisky. For depth, they use malted barley. For an aromatic, dry flavour, they use Australian wheat. Lightly charred or steamed barrels. Sourced from Australian wineries that make great Shiraz, Cabernets and Pinot Noirs. Often filled fresh when the barrel is still wet with wine. They mature each whiskey separately in Melbourne’s wildly varied climate, then deftly combine.
Smooth as silk. Spiced vanilla, tropical fruits and cereal characters rounded with red apples and berries. Easy-drinking when neat or on ice. Try a Two-Fold and tonic, or a Boulevardier, and you might be tempted to bin the gin.
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking
Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
