This single malt has been matured in a combination of oloroso, Pedro Ximenex and Moscatel Sherry casks, which has given it plenty of layers of dried fruit and nuts which compliment the distillery’s signature tropical character. Summer berries, dried fruit, grapes, orange, chocolate brownies and toffee aromas treat the nose, while caramel, honey, candied mango, cinnamon, raisins and dates are detected throughout the palate. By collecting the CO2 emanated during fermentation, the distillery repurposes this greenhouse gas towards the use in carbonated drinks.

Top Whiskies

The gold-hued liquid found inside this bottle of Indian single malt whisky matches the colour of the medal it received from the judges at the annual World Whisky blind tasting. The judges found it to be “salty and coastal on the nose, tropical with a lovely trail of spice on the finish”.

This particular expression has been been finished in ginger beer casks for a generous 12 months – twice as long as its sixth edition – which has given the double pot distilled whisky an extra generous level of citrussy spice. It also spent some time in apera (Australian fortified wine) and wine casks sourced from across the globe. Expect notes of warming, fresh ginger alongside more mellow, candied ginger, vanilla syrup, and tropical fruit. This whisky spent two-thirds of its life in American oak Bourbon barrels, and the remaining third in European oak Sherry casks, the latter of which has given it a balance of dry Sherry spice, while the former has provided sweeter, tropical notes. The spent grains are separated from waste water and used as animal feed since it’s high in protein.- Of course “aged in ex-bourbon” is kind of like saying “written on paper” or “served on a plate”. In this case the distillery is drawing attention to the use of several different “ages” of ex-bourbon casks that were used, with a goal of achieving a different flavor profile from each. Every year Melbourne-based distillery Starward brings out its latest ginger beer-aged innovation, and every year consumers go mad for it, which is likely why the judges awarded the seventh edition of this bottling a Master medal.If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. First released to the worldwide market in 2004, The Peat Monster went on to become one of Compass Box’s most popular expressions, according to the brand. It is loved so much that Compass Box recently celebrated its 20th anniversary with a limited edition release. The Bill: R350p/p | Welcome drink, distillery tour and three whiskies paired with five food samples. I just returned from South Africa (Cape Town) and a lovely time was had by all. While travelling, I always try to carve out some time early in the trip to seek out a bottle of whisky or whisky-adjacent spirits that are locally made, or at least only available locally. I do this for two reasons: First, it’s easy to get tunnel vision about what products are available at my regular liquor stores, and I like to try to get access to things I can’t get at home. Second, then I have a bottle of whisky that must be finished before the return trip!
