As a special release, we are pleased to announce the Chief’s Son Twin Whisky bundle for a sensational price of $249, saving you a massive $50.
The Chief’s Son Twin pack includes the Chief’s Son ‘Cameron 16’ and the Chief’s Son ‘Aiden 2016’!
Chief’s Son ‘Cameron 16’
The second cask ever filled at Chief’s Son Distillery and one of their sought-after limited-edition Family Casks – The Chief’s Son Cameron 16!
Fully matured for 6.5 years in a French Oak, first fill Sherry cask all the way from Tonnellerie Sirugue cooperage in France and bottled at 49.5% ABV, the Cameron 16 is a lightly peated, fruity bombshell of a whisky that is absolutely perfect for sharing around a table of hot pickings, cold cuts or even fresh seafood (it’s absolutely brilliant with oysters).
How ever your family rolls, this rich, fruity (almost rummy) whisky with just a touch of smoke (only contains 10% peat smoked malt in the mash bill) will most definitely fit right in. At a smidge under 50% ABV, will have no problem flambéing the plumb pud – if you can bare to burn it!
OUR TASTING NOTES
Colour:Â A glorious deep reddy-orange.
Nose:Â A pleasant leatheriness at first, and a salty-plum note with caramel as well as biscuit spices.
Palate: A very hearty and solid mouthfeel with a nice amount of white pepper spiciness – an initial burst that diminishes quickly to be overtaken by the fruit! Lots of big red fruits – especially cherries. The biscuit spices seen on the nose are still there, but much diminished – the fruit really dominates here.
Finish: A delightfully long and extremely chewy finish. A mild pepper remains around the mouth – almost as a backdrop to the swirls of fruit, caramel and
A delicious whisky in it’s own right (with a seriously chewy finish) – but its made even more interesting when drammed side-by-side with a glass (or two) of the Iron House 2018 Pinot Noir that ‘seasoned’ it. The dark cherry notes and white pepper are – for me – especially notable as being common notes between the two.
Chief’s Son ‘Aiden 2016’
We have an Australian stunner of a whisky special release – the Chief’s Son ‘The Aiden 2016’ all the way from the multi-award winning distillery on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula in Victoria.
With these credentials it will take pride of place in your collection.
- From one of the oldest casks at Chief‘s Son
- The first of the special ‘Family’ casks ever to be released
- Casks originally coopered in France and used for Red Wine then Sherry
- Re-coopered for whisky casks by none other than legendary cooper, Andrew Young from Seppeltsfield Estate
- Each individually numbered bottle is individually laser etched
We are super excited to offer an exclusive whisky made with family foremost in mind by Chief’s Son Distillery. In fact, this whisky is all about family – make way for the Chief’s Son ‘The Aiden 2016’.
This whisky is out of one of the oldest casks in the Chief’s Son bond-store. Hand filled in 2016 by Stuart’s son, Aiden – and made available exclusively to the Single Malt Whisky Club.
OUR TASTING NOTES
Nose: Some mustiness at first but the sweetness soon materialises in the form of maple syrup, with a touch of bubble gum thrown in, some apricots and delicate leathery notes.
Palate: Lovely rich oily mouthfeel here. A sweet yet nutty palate – with scorched almond brittle, caramel and slightly burnt toffee to boot. There’s also a suggestion of liquorice with just a little pepper at he back of the mouth.
Finish: More nut brittle, pepper and oak swirl over and around each other in a flurry of rich caramel syrup.
A lovely balance between the roast nuts and sweet caramel here – not too sweet but definitely not dry. Interestingly, on sharing my tasting notes with the Chief’s Son crew, it was revealed to me that their stills are electrically heated and they do get a lot of caramelisation of sugars onto the internal heating elements – hence the caramel notes. This whisky is just so very more-ish. I bet you’ll have poured another before the finish has run it’s course from the first dram!
