This month….whiskies aged at sea! 2 different fortified barrel maturations finished on a Abalone fishing boat named ‘Maverick’ for 12 months on the high seas of The Tasman covering over 3280 nautical miles. The Malt of the Month is the Iron House Maverick Muscat SMWC Edition followed up by the Members Extra, the Iron House Maverick Port Cask. The constant movement of the ocean churns the spirit with greater interaction with the wood, extreme temperature and barometric ranging creating a hyper ageing effect taking you on a sensory voyage like no other.OUR TASTING NOTESNose: Dried fruits and warm biscuit spices Palate: Lovely rich mouthfeel with minimal pepper. Initially sweet, but takes a slightly dry turn. Big sweet stewed fruit vibe up front, but there’s a nice saltyness at the back of that. Finish: Warm – not spicey. Long and quite delicious. The finish sees a real salted nuttiness develop which fades out with pleasant warmth. Wow – a real surprise with the nuttyness here – I was not expecting that! The 52%ABV is very well integrated and so easy on the palate. I love that the year at sea makes itself so well known in this whisky. That salty note is unmistakable… and delicious – it’s the ‘chef’s kiss’ to the whole story! -
A Summer Whisky for only $99 from one of Australia’s legendary, award-winning distilleries? Santa, Iniquity and the Single Malt Whisky Club deliver! The perfect whisky for a hot Aussie Christmas, the latest in the much applauded and awarded Tin Shed Distillery ‘Anomaly’ Series – the Iniquity Lazy Daze. The Lazy Daze is matured in a first fill Heavens Hill ex-bourbon cask (78%) – tweaked with some shiraz (15%), tawny (3.5%) and apera (3.5%) barrels. It has been bottled at 40%ABV in order to be easy to drink yet still pack a flavour wallop! It’s sweet and fruity with next to no heat on the palate yet packs a big chewy finish. Even though it’s only packing 40%ABV, this whisky is definitely no lightweight. It’s got huge depth of flavour, big mouthfeel and …oh, did we mention it’s under a hundred bucks… in a 700ml bottle?!?!?OUR TASTING NOTESNose: Tart green apples, passionfruit, jasmine and vanilla with a note of leather too. Palate: Wow – big flavour up front with as close to zero heat as I’ve ever tasted in a whisky. Lots more classic fruit notes – citrus and banana with more passionfruit there too Finish: A lovely lingering, earthy finish with fruit mince wafting around a soft leathery oakiness with more of that classic bourbon cask vanilla jumping into the mix. Warning – this whisky is just so easy to drink it really should have a warning label! It packs a heap of flavour, but leaves all the heat behind. It’s by no means insipid or watered-down tasting but that low ABV won’t have you sweating around the BBQ when you’re drinking it. And for the price – why not throw it in a frosty highball and really cool down! The boys at the distillery recommend a mix of lemonade and orange bitters with heaps of ice. -
Let’s FIRKIN get our whisky on! The RELEASE of not any FIRKIN WHISKY…A LINKWOOD…one of the rarest of the rare with only 1-2% ever being released as a SINGLE MALT – The Firkin Ten Linkwood 2010! The ‘Firkin Ten’ label denotes a spirit aged for 10 years prior to finishing in Mike’s custom casks. This Firkin Ten Linkwood was distilled at Linkwood Distillery, in the Speyside, in 2010. In 2020, it was bought by Mike and transferred to his hybrid, Madeira-seasoned casks where it was finished for a further two years. Bottled with no chill filtering and absolutely nothing added other than the water used to bring it down to the bottling strength of 48.9%ABV. We’re FIRKIN proud to be first to bring this new expression to market in Australia, and we’re pretty FIRKIN chuffed at the price we’ve got it for you as well!OUR TASTING NOTESNose: Rich and deep oak, more floral than fruity for me with honey hints and nutty nougat and biscuit spices well represented. Palate: Lovely luscious and oily mouthfeel with an initial burst of ‘just the right amount’ of pepper to offset the nutty, peanut brittle sweetness. There is spicy fruit mince here – but it’s certainly not the star. Nutty-caramel and dark coffee notes steal the show for me. Finish: A fantastically more-ish finish – peppery oily pulses with burnt-sugary sweet, yet somehow palate-cleansingly crisp at the same time. Delightful, but that moreish-ness seems to find me impatiently sipping another dram before I let it play right out! Another abso-Firkin-lutley sensational whisky from a man who has been creating sensational whiskies for 50 years! This is one of those ‘open it with a mate or two and next thing you know it’s all gone’ whiskies. The Firkin Ten Linkwood 2010 is a stunner! -
Now, the whisky business doesn’t get much more serious than the Remnant Whisky Co…An EXCLUSIVE follow up to one of our biggest selling whiskies of 2022 – A mix of 10 year old Port and Sherry Casks and we’re excited to be releasing another bottling from these absolute angels of Australian whisky – The Remnant Whisky Co. Black Spot ‘SMWC #02’! This is the second release we’ve partnered with Remnant Whisky Co to bring to the Club. The first Remnant Black Spot we featured back in 2022 was an INSTANT SELLOUT and we have no doubt this one will follow suit. It’s a simply sensational 10+ year old Tasmanian whisky in a 700ml bottle at a better price than a 500ml Black Spot normally sells at! This month’s Remnant Whisky Co. Black Spot SMWC02 is blended from a selection of port and sherry casks all over 10 years old. Their abv’s at disgorging ranged from 66.2 to 42.1%abv but this whisky gem is bottled at 48.1%abv.OUR TASTING NOTESNose: A big succulent fruity nose with masses of juicy stone fruit, sweet-toasted marshmallow and freshly opened packet of Jaffa’s there too. Palate: Big, rich and luxurious on the palate with a delicious viscousness and just the merest pepper. There’s fruit that backs up the nose, sure – but also a very peasant nuttiness on the palate. Finish: Warm, soft, cuddly and long. The fruitiness mellows and there’s some mild ginger, coffee, dark chocolate and even some custard all tumbling around inside my smile as this lovely finish finally fades.. What can I say – it’s simply a very bloody nice, big, round and juicy, waaay too easy to drink Tassie whisky that I can almost guarantee you’re gonna love! There’s just… well… there’s just nothing here not to love. I don’t want to say buy two… but buy two! – you’ll not regret it! -
The first PEATED release from the legendary Aussie Distillery, Cape Byron, founded by a whisky legend. Yes, that’s right Jim McEwan MBE – 52 years in the whisky industry, three times international ‘Master Distiller of the Year’, Master Distiller Hall of Fame Lifetime Achievement Award Winner 2014, 15 years head distiller at Bruchladdich, and now… co-founder of Cape Byron. So here are with their first peated release - Cape Byron Peated Chardonnay Cask. This whisky was crafted using unpeated malt that was matured in an ex-Bourbon cask and finished in ex-Chardonnay cask, and then married with peated ex-Bourbon cask for that extra dash of flavour layered in. Bottled at a satisfying – but not over-the-top 51%abv. A lick of smoke, nothing overbearing, just enough to go hmmm…. WOW!OUR TASTING NOTESNose: The chardonnay lineage jumps right out on the nose. It’s dry with very little sweetness at all except for a slight flower petal note and a little vanilla – and just a hint of the peated percentage of this whisky with a mustiness sitting in the background waiting to be noticed. Palate: Much oilier and much less astringent on the palate than I was expecting form the nose. Positively creamy, in fact! The peat comes out to play a lot more in the palate – but it’s still by no means imposing. It sits very comfortably around the citrusy vanilla flavours – by no means just a spectator, but certainly no bully. Finish: A lovely chewy finish – with more of all the above… and then a curtain of fresh nut-butter descends and changes it al up as it slowly fades. Wow…. I was NOT expecting that nuttiness here. -
