Bakery Hill Classic Cask Strength
500ml 60.00% |
|
Ret
$110.00 |
| |
|
|
Have a look at what I wrote about the 46% Classic...then turn the volume up to very load! Breathtaking. David Baker's signature creamy maltiness is these, basically it envelopes the entire mouth, but the high intensity spirit just drives this whisky right down the palate. Surprisingly notes of chocolate, bitter orange and rosewater make an appearance. And once again, the maltiness just lasts and lasts.

This is very impressive, very impressive. Those that know me, know that I'm not a great fan of small cask matured whiskies. BUT tasting David's entry level Classic malt, just confirms in my mind that David is on the right track. His distilling skills, oak management and maturation abilities and importantly the style of his malts is spot on, and just gets better with every new release.
This malt is classically malty (as all whiskies should be), crisply intensive and the malt flavours just hang around for what seems an eternity. Look out for the magic oak spice on the nose. Great stuff.

David Baker's combo malt, where he matures his spirit in 2nd fill bourbon barrels and used French oak casks...and what a dram he gets at the end. Smelling more grainy than the Classic, more fresh grain than malted, there's also a load of vanilla, coconut, dried fruits and kitchen spice flavours coming off as well. The French oak spice marries perfectly with creamy cereal flavours on the palate. And once again this malt just fill every crevice of your palate. And once again, the flavour just hangs around for ages.

It amazes me that the increase in alcohol is not just "an in crease in alcohol" attack on the palate. Cask strengths just have a habit of reavealing more complex flavours and textures than their softer cousins. And this cracker from David Baker is no exception. The peat is intensified, there's an earthiness and cherry/berry flavours not seen in the 46% and on the palate it is just explosive. And it's all in balance as there is plenty of creamy oak and malt to balance up the high strength alcohol. Great stuff David Baker.

I never thought I would say this about an Aussie malt...but this is a masterpiece. Soft, pulpy, subtle fruitiness, sweet vanilla oak and then you notice the peat sitting underneath. A distant bonfire, dry and tangy that works really well with this malts quite sweet & rich palate. Very long palate with (once again) a smoky tanginess that hangs around for ages. brilliant stuff and a credit to David's distilling skills.

Hang onto your seat, hold the buses, and take a deep breathe and wait for it. This is the best Lark single malt I've ever seen! I'm no fan of small cask maturation, but LD57 is a marvel. The oak is just so sweetly perfumed (French oak port cask), and sits perfectly well with the underlying biscuit maltiness. This is a driven malt: the spirit is strong, very intensive, nervy in fact, but it just keeps in balance as both the oak and malt combination is so very sweet and so very luscious. In fact barley sugar & toffee sweet. The palate is long, the flavours lasting. Lark at his best.

Just tried this...one of Bill's best yet!!! That's what I wrote last week until I tasted LD57. So LD93 gets shunted down the line, but only a little as this new offering from the Lark's in Tasmania is amazingly textured, very honeyed, full flavoured and as with many of Lark's high strength malts, just so full of life and vigour.

This is one classy single malt. The Lark's have used a used French oak small cask that somewhat surprisingly, once contained port! So spice and sweetness is the key here. The nose is jammed packed with fresh French nougat and kitchen spice flavours. On the broad palate, it's all raw sugar, orange zest and bitter cocoa while the finish is warm, gentle and mouthfilling with a hint of toffee and spice at the end. Bravo!

Both Shane (from Springbank) & I caught up with the owner of Nant Distillery the other week and finally got to try their new, newmake spirit. In a word, glorious! If they get the right amount of oak into this spirit, then Nant is going to be doing some quite spectacular business. In the meantime, the distillery has released a Double Malt, mainly sourced from another famous Tassie distillery, but in my humble opinion, it most definitely is worth a try. Only 1000 bottles released.

Yep, it’s an Aussie and yes it’s tucked away in a bunch of Scottish malts, but as far as I’m concerned this is where this single malt should exactly be. A fantastic first effort, and you certainly can see the influence of years of brandy distillation and winemaking has had on this malt, as the oak (I suspect some good French oak wine barrels were used here) and spirit quality is all class. Malt, spice abound on a very balanced palate.

I'd have to say that this is one of the best value malts kicking around at the moment. The price is ace, the flavour is big, the malt is sweet and biscuity, the mix of French and American sherry and wine hogsheads leaves a lasting impression of vanilla, coconut and a sweet fruitiness more reminiscent of a finely tuned brandy. The finish is rich and sweet with plenty of spicy honey and caramel fudge.
This is just one of those malts that goes down a treat without either taxing the brain or the taste buds, and one dram is never enough!

Meet Patrick Maguire, the shy & retiring owner/distiller at Sullivan's Cove. From being the laughing stock of the spirit world, Patrick now produces award winning single malts with exports to Europe & Asia now exceeding sales in Aust. This fully bourbon matured malt reeks quality...lusciously long & sweetly rich palate & very balanced. Murray calls it dramtipodean genius while France's Sarafian calls it purely "magnificent".
And we have finally got Patrick's new Bourbon 8yo...boy how this little distillery has grown up.

I met a Frenchman in London, who went by the name of Gregoire Sarafian, who turns out to be the French's answer to Jim Murray...and I am talking about a premier league whisky critic. Look out for him. Oh, by the way this is what he had to say about Patrick's Double Cask, "Almost perfect and regarding to the palate and age, it could ave been twice the age...".
