Flinders Island Peated Single Malt 700ml

$220.00

BATCH: FPA2

MALT: 100% TASMANIAN, FLINDERS ISLAND PEATED

MATURATION: FRENCH OAK APERA CASK

ABV: 49%

The second Flinders Island peated sherry cask we have bottled so far, and a beautiful fruity and juicy expression of the style. 100% Flinders Island peated malt - distilled and matured for almost 5 years in French Oak Apera casks on Flinders Island. Slow proofed, unfiltered.

TASTING NOTES:

Bold, sweet spice, fig, date and fruitcake on the nose. On the palate it bursts with bright cherry, a nuttiness, and a hint of licorice which develops to the oily, aromatic smoke characteristic of our coastal peat. The finish carries that gentle smoke, and a lovely sticky sweetness.

STYLE NOTES

The discovery of peat on the island was the lighting-bulb moment for Furneaux Distillery. Since that discovery we have been foraging peat by hand, smoking our barley in our own fabricated malt kiln. Quite different to UK or other Australian peat, ours is from saline aquatic herb-lands. The vegetation is succulents, melaleuca and swamp-grasses, giving this whisky a gentle, aromatic smoke profile highlighted with brine and sweetness.
