Corra Linn Single Malt Whisky
Corra Linn Single Malt WhiskyCorra Linn Single Malt Whisky.Corra Linn Distillery is situated in Relbia overlooking the valley of the North Esk River. It is this pristine water that flows from the mountain reserves that forms the main ingredient of the whisky produced. Corra Linn Distillery prides itself in precision, small batch production using the finest Tasmanian ingredients. Quality malt, Tasmanian honey and oak barrels refashioned by Tasmania’s renowned cooper, charred to specification, all assist in providing flavours during the ageing process. The master distiller techniques and the ageing process, reveal and achieve the full rich botanical flavours providing a unique taste. The amber liquid has a light start with balanced oak characters, revealing the port and sherry overtones from the refilled barrels used. It is soft and sweet, with layers of citrus and has a spiced finish which gives it full expression showing its eloquence and giving it character, putting it into a class of its own.
Fleurieu Distillery Cartoon Lurve Single Malt Whisky
Fleurieu Distillery Cartoon Lurve Single Malt WhiskyFleurieu Distillery Cartoon Lurve Single Malt Whisky
Sometimes love is found in the strangest of places. The chance meeting of a one-eyed muscle bound sailor with waif of a girl the shape of a toothpick sparked a truly unique relationship. Popeye and Olive were two peated whisky barrels filled on the same day – and named after these two cartoon characters. There is never any guarantee the whisky from barrels named after couples will end up in the same bottle. Sometimes though, there is that certain magic and the whisky from Popeye and Olive certainly had this for us. And as Celine Dion so aptly puts it, if you are truly in love you’re not in love, you’re in “lurve”.
Tasting Notes: 52% alc/vol, available in 700ml bottles only and limited to 300 hand-numbered bottles. Deep auburn in colour, this exquisitely peated whisky remains true to the Fleurieu style. Hints of gentle smoke and sweet iodine peat on the nose give way to briny coastal infused malt and umami on the palate. The balance between sweet smoky toffee and wisps of toasted walnuts mingle well with overtones of dried stone fruit. A great dram to deliberate over, after exploring rock pools at Middleton point at low tide on a hazy Winter afternoon. Gold Medal – Craft Spirit – American Distilling Institute Awards 2020

Description
At long last the final in our trilogy of Tawny releases is here!
After ‘Message In A Bottle’ and ‘Tea In The Sahara’, the new release ‘Englishman In New York’ is a celebration of remaining true to oneself. Even now in these modern times, we live in a society that constantly tries to influence us to be something other than ourselves. A marriage of Tawny and Fronti casks, ‘Englishman in New York’ delivers the traditional Fleurieu Distillery coastal umami character overlaid with a sweet salt finish. As we continue stepping into a decade of change, we hope this delicious dram will assist you to “… be yourself, no matter what they say”.
Tasting Notes
limited to 550 hand-numbered bottles.
This Fronti/Tawny barrel offering is a vatting of five 100L first fill barrels. Fronti (formerly known as white port, but no longer due to Geographic Appellation laws) is a mixture of predominately Muscat Blanc Petit Grains, Muscadelle and Semillon, the grapes are harvested late in the season to achieve rich and intense flavours. It could possibly be described as part way between a Tokay and a Sauternes in character.
Colour – Light Copper
Nose – Maple syrup, with a Fruchoc-style light stone fruit, malt cereal
Palate – Honey on toast, brown sugar, dried fruit spice, candied orange peel
Finish – Long, hints of glace ginger, and quince paste, followed by sea salt roasted chestnuts, luscious and lingering

Aroma: A beautiful rich, complex, and well-balanced aroma with dried fruits, cherries, toffee, malt, vanilla, and gentle oak all apparent.
Palate: Just as rich and complex as the aroma with an amazing mouth filling flavour – like biting into an alcohol cream centred milk chocolate.
Finish. Warm, generous, and long with dark fruit and nut chocolate, spice, and toasted oak. A wonderful whisky.
