Bakery Hill Metamorphosis Single Malt Whisky 48% 500ml
$190.00
We were exceptionally lucky to have acquired a fresh Muscat Cask from an acclaimed winemaker (and his creative kids) which we filled with 6 year old Peated Whisky. A further 2 years maturation in the French Oak has produced a delightful sweet, salty and peated Single Malt Whisky ready for your enjoyment.
The sweetness of the Muscat is balanced with the rich, earthy and delightfully smoky elements of Bakery Hill peated whisky. This whisky perfectly encapsulates the seemingly magical process of transformation taking place over time in the quiet and peaceful darkness of a special and very loved oak barrel.

Nose: Rich Coconut, Caramel, Three Dimensional Fruit Salad, Hint of Sweet Smoke, Touch of Mint
Palate: Burst of summer fruit, Sweet, Salt Water, Creamy Pavlova, Rich Marmalade, Campfire Cooking

$222.00
Michel Couvreur Whisky Pale Single Single 45% 700ml:
Nose - Fresh and well fruity initially. Vegetal (tea thyme-lemon), it makes me think of some Benrinnes. Simple and direct. Its expressiveness and fruity are lost along the way, too bad!
Taste - Moist and light, precise and pointed. Accessible and aromatic, it is spicy with vegetal notes from end to end. Finish Creamy and sparkling.
When your expectations are zero on a whisky, you sometimes have very good surprises! I have rarely been seduced by Couvreur, I had a great time.
