Whiskyfun Review by Serge:
Hellyers Road 18 yo (56.4%, OB, Tasmania/Australia, The Nectar and Kirsch Import, American oak, cask #2269.03, 197 bottles, 2021)
Tasmania? I've always been a fan of the platypus, since I was a kid. I hope they're doing all right but I'm sure that the Tasmanians are taking great care of those incredible 'other human beings'. Colour: light gold. Nose: naturally, sunflower oil, vanilla pods, salsify, buckwheat, and just 'breads'. Breads always win it. With water: a superb oily nuttiness. Pine nut, pumpkin seed, Brazil nuts… Mouth (neat): lemons, bananas, coffee, butterscotch, caraway liqueur, yellow curry, dried jujubes, paprika. Sounds unlikely? It's not. With water: takes water extremely well. I just made the mistake we all sometimes make when we get distracted, I added water twice, and yet, the baby remained fiercely straight. Stewed bananas and the softest soft curry. Finish: long and breadier. Comments: love, love, love many Hellyers Road including this one, but how are the platypus doing?
