Are you ready to get your hands on the sibling to the WORLD BEATING Amber Lane Silk Road? The very FIRST BATCH of the Amber Lane Silk Lane is all yours!

The Amber Lane Silk Lane is made of the same process and cask types as the multi-award-winning Silk Road. The only difference is the lower abv of the Silk Lane…and the spectacular price point!

The original Silk Road smashed it both at home and abroad (Gold Medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, the Australian Distilled Spirits Awards and the Royal Australian Distilled Spirits Awards) and we know the Silk Lane is going to be wearing its own gold very soon!

Matured for over 5 years in three stages – initially, virgin American oak casks for 12 months prior to moving through two different ex-bourbon casks (Heaven Hill) for the next four and a bit years, for total of 5 years and two months in wood. This single cask release (and subsequent Silk Lane releases) has then been bought down to a very healthy 48%abv for bottling.

Amber Lane Silk Lane Batch 1 SMWC Edition

Amber Lane is one of Australia’s most well respected and awarded distilleries. Since their launch in 2018, Amber Lane have been wowing Australia’s whisky-loving community as well as cementing Australia’s reputation as a producer of world beating whisky. There’s hardly a product on their website that doesn’t have at least a couple of medals associated with it!

A huge part of Amber Lanes success lies with their use of large-format casks only. You won’t find any 25 or 50L casks in the Amber Lane bond store. The other component of the ‘Amber Lane process’ is their use of the ‘Cognac tradition of aging’ – moving all of their maturations through multiple barrels, each beginning with an initial maturation in virgin oak.

We are absolutely stoked to be launching a new product for Amber Lane and the Single Malt Whisky Club are getting the very first batch all for us! Please welcome the Silk Lane Batch #1 SMWC Edition.

This is a new line for Amber Lane and we’ve been honoured to have the first batch all for ourselves – they’ve even put our logo on the label!

OUR TASTING NOTES

Nose: Masses of American oak goodness – citrus peel, vanilla, floral notes by the bouquet, some almondine, a rich oakeyness underlying and all wrapped snugly in a creamy -almost banana- custard cloak. Let it sit in the glass for a few minutes and a lovely earthy-umami comes through too.

Palate: Deliciously creamy mouthfeel with just a little wave of pepper which precedes a tsunami of apricots, honey, biscuit spices (there’s a real Arnott’s Malt-o-Milk biccy vibe in there) and a citrus peel piquantness that sees in the finish

Finish: Delicious and nutty finish – that almondine from the nose really comes back with a honey drizzle that sweetens it right back up again just as some salted taffy emerges to see it out.

Wow! This whisky is a ride. So many facets that jump out, creep in, skulk away and then re-emerge! And what a roller-coaster of flavours – sweet, salty, umami all well-represented and all playing nicely with each other (if only our kids could take this example!). Those who tasted the multi award-winning Silk Road know what to expect. This is basically that whisky with a dash of water added. This is truly ‘Silk’ by name and by nature!
