Married Vatting of Fleurieu Distillery Cask #29 "John" & Cask #30 "Yoko"

ex-Tawny Cask & ex-Apera Cask

Distilled: August 2015

Bottled: July 2022 

50.3% ABV​


CRAIG'S TASTING NOTES

COLOUR: mid amber 

NOSE: Toffee, jersey caramels, honeycomb, honey icecream, the medium dry sherry notes make an appearance later.

PALATE: syrupy with more sherry bite than in the nose, drier and woodier, the almond skins and nutty tannins kick in. Leafy astringency in the back palate. 

FINISH: autumn leaves and nutty tannins. The fruitiness up front has surrendered to the drier characters of the apera cask.


PAUL'S TASTING NOTES

NOSE: Gooseberry compote, anise, fudge and a slight hint of ginger. Fruit lollies develop over time.

PALATE: Dried apricot, Chinese five spice

FINISH: Lingering, the alcohol subsides slowly to a gentle fruit finish, but becoming ever so slightly bitter and tannic, but not unpleasantly so. Fruit returns at the end for a pleasant finish along with the shiitake mushroom, reminiscent of an autumnal damp forest.


VIANO'S TASTING NOTES

NOSE: Fudge, five spice, honey, butterscotch, yellow peach, crisp green pear

PALATE: Gentle hints of nutmeg and cinnamon, butterscotch sweetness with a honeyed edge

FINISH: Lingering, dried figs, with gentle white pepper


INDEPENDENT TASTING NOTES (ANGUS SMITH)

NOSE: Shares some of the tomato and earthy/coffee notes from his mother while bolstered by his father's dried fruit sweetness. Perhaps a little synergistic tobacco leaf and clove lead spice in the mix too.

PALATE: Good balance of mildly caramelised sweetness and rose florals with a touch of Yoko's vinous and earthy qualities playing as a counterbalance. The florals continue with a moderately perfumed retronasal tinged with a little more tobacco and freshly shaved oak.
