Willowbank 18 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)

Volume: 500ml / ABV: 50.5%

It's the second batch of Willowbank whisky from New Zealand that has been independently bottled up by That Boutique-y Whisky Company! This 18 year old expression was aged in red wine casks, resulting in loads of red fruit note brilliance. A wonderful whisky from a sadly-closed distillery.

Batch 2 is a release of 506 bottles.

‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company’ bottles single malts, single grains and bourbons from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blended malts and blends. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels.

Nose

Blackberry jam on toast, earthy with a savoury touch of tobacco, a pinch of cinnamon.

Palate

Cherry, chocolate, and brown sugar, balanced by woody tannins with a soft drying hint of baking spices.

Finish

Red fruit sweetness and a hint of leather.
