The NZ Whisky Collection Oamaruvian Cask Strenght 500mL

Barrel American Oak Ex-Bourbon, French Oak Ex-Red Wine

The Oamaruvian Cask Strength is now available as a bold & beautiful single malt whisky. After maturing in ex-bourbon barrels, the Oamaruvian has gained a beautiful rusty red, burnt umber colour while ageing in pinot noir barrels. Finished off in an ex-merlot / syrah cask.

With rich flavours of Christmas cake, spices and madeira – this single malt whisky is bold and heavy – yet elegant, like an elephant dressed up in a ballet tutu. Big but surprisingly smooth.
NOTES

Nose Christmas cake, dates, fortified wine, blueberries, cinnamon and cloves, salty brine.
Palate Rich date loaf and spicy plum pudding sit heavy on the palate.
Finish Long, lingering finish with madeira, blueberries and salty dark toffee.
