Whisky Tasting Notes

Aberfeldy 12 Year Old
Full of bright orange citrus and rich honey notes, it’s aged in a variety of casks (both European and American oak) and offers complex honey, buttery sweetness, juicy sultanas and soft spice flavours. Bacardi-Martini

Glenmorangie Signet
Using a high-roasted ‘chocolate’ malt in the mash, this whisky is rich and dark gold in colour, full on the palate with flavours of cinnamon, ginger, oranges and bitter mocha. Moet Hennessy

Russell’s Reserve 10 Years Old
This Kentucky Straight Bourbon is aged for a minimum of 10 years and is bottled at 45% — classic, rich and proper bourbon to be enjoyed. Campari Australia

Rebel Yell Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey
From the family-owned Lux Row Distilleries in Bardstown, Kentucky, this 95% rye is made in Indiana using the original recipe from 1849 by Stitzel-Weller, by John Rempie, Head Distiller & Master Blender. Proof & Company

Monkey Shoulder
This is a blended malt whisky of three Speyside single malts. There’s zesty orange and vanilla aromas, a hint of spice on the palate, and a smooth finish to cap it all off. William Grant & Sons

Bushmills 10 Year Old Single Malt Whiskey
Bushmills 10 Year Old Single Malt Whiskey is triple distilled from 100% malted barley and matured for at least 10 years in bourbon season barrels which give it its honey, vanilla and milk chocolate aroma. Proximo Australia

Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Straight Rye
This rye from the famous Tennessee distillery is a typically spicy rye — thanks to its 70 percent rye mashbill — but is also one that has been mellowed by the Jack Daniel’s charcoal filtration process. Brown-Forman

Buffalo Trace
Buffalo Trace offers a complex aroma, with notes of brown sugar and spice that give way to oak, toffee, dark fruit and anise, finishing long and smooth. Southtrade

Maker’s Mark
Wood and oak, along with vanilla, caramel and wheat characters on the nose; the palate is balanced, with some sweetness countered with caramel, vanilla and fruit notes. The finish is smooth and subtle. CCA

Roe & Co
This Irish whiskey — developed with the help of bartenders — is made from the finest hand-selected stocks of Irish malt and grain whiskies and aged in bourbon casks. Diageo
