That Boutiquey Whisky Co - Riverbourne 2 YO Single Malt Batch 2 500ml

"Another welcome return to one of our Australian distilleries from our first series. Riverbourne, located 60 km southeast of the capital -Canberra, is run by Australia’s oldest distiller, Martin Pye. Martin’s a third generation pharmacist who has an obsession with the sciences.

Two types of barley are predominantly used, heavily peated Scottish malt, and a local malt from Australia.

The casks are sourced from an Australian cooperage called Roll Out The Barrel, ROTB manufactures casks from recycled wine staves, stripped and charred in a similar process to STR.

Our 2nd cask from Riverbourne uses that heavily peated Scottish malt, and has been matured in a ‘Roll Out The Barrel’ 100 litre cask, made from American and French oak staves.

NOSE: There's an immediate iodine hit, slightly earthy, and medicinal too, but softens to reveal heather honey, and hints of tangerine creams.

PALATE: Big, and chewy! With waves of sweet smoke,candied citrus, and creamy vanilla toffees, followed by some earthy peat with a pinch of salt. The finish is long and lingering, with a salty quality to the earthy peat smoke." -That Boutique-y Whisky Company
