Backwoods 4 Year Old Australian Rye Whisky

Australian Rye Whisky

Rye whisky from the Backwoods of Yackandandah, Australia! This is our 2nd bottling from our dear friends at the Backwoods Distilling Co. and for this release we re-used our original cask #14 as a finishing vessel and goodness gracious did it work out perfectly. This is just magic in a cask. Come see what all the fuss is about.

Tasting Notes

NOSE: Balsa wood, dehydrated apple rings, and a freshly opened pack of unfiltered cigarettes but with rich sweetness in the form of chocolate covered Shredded Wheat and hints of Cherry Lips and Strawberry Starburst.

PALATE: Wonderful mouth coating texture with abundant notes: walnut skins, chocolate dipped cherries dusted in cocoa powder, fresh wood shavings, vibrant rye spice, Biscoff cookies, and Whoppers – quite earthy and a touch herbaceous.

FINISH: Moderate to long with lingering rye spice, more wood shavings, drying cocoa, black licorice and then, on the very end, a bright citrus flourish.
