Bakery Hill is a new Australian venture into the generally exclusive world of Whisky production. We say exclusive, because few distillers outside of Scotland have yet managed to create a whisky that approximates to the quality or style of the Scottish original, or when they have, the whisky has usually relied upon the importation of key ingredients from the ‘homeland’. Bakery Hill’s Single Malts, despite their youth, are very promising initial efforts, and as the spirits spend longer in barrel, one can anticipate some very interesting results. As with classic malts, Bakery Hill uses only malted barley [ from Tasmania ], yeast and water to achieve its flavour and aroma. No caramel is added in order to enhance the appearance. Barrelling at Bakery Hill is done using select second fill American Oak Bourbon barrels. French Oak casks are also used for the production of the classic double wood style. "The malt development on the palate is quite beautiful. A soft distant smokiness adds excellent weight to the lilting malt-oak richness." 46% Alc./Vol. - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2004.

A delicious teriyaki/molasses element carries through the nose and palate, providing a framework for gentle smokiness, salinity, roasted coffee and almost resinous sweetness. Fruitiness is present but subtle: marmalade and stewed figs meet burnt butter. Dilution with water separates the oils and brings a dense, mouth-filling almond-paste character balanced with savoury char. A unique and delicious Ardmore: only 235 bottles were filled.

The Benromach 21-year-old Whisky is a true gem from Scotland, crafted with decades of expertise and passion by the renowned Benromach distillery. This exceptional single malt is presented in a 700mL bottle at 43% ABV, perfectly capturing the essence of the Scottish Highlands. On the nose, the Benromach 21Yo Whisky delights with rich aromas of dark fruits, vanilla, and toffee, complemented by a touch of peat smoke. Its deep amber color, reminiscent of the Scottish landscape, invites you to take a sip. On the palate, this whisky delivers a complex and well-balanced experience. Notes of ripe plums and dark chocolate blend with hints of oak and spices, leading to a long, smoky finish. With its smooth texture and delightful flavors, the Benromach 21Yo Whisky is a true delight for whisky connoisseurs. Enjoy it neat or with a splash of water to fully appreciate its depth and character.
