Highland-style peated malt, rich gold russet in colour, with earthy peat, kumquat and fruit mince tart on the nose, tobacco leaf earthiness with complex smoky peat on the palate, and an astonishingly long and complex finish. Single barrel, undiluted and uncompromising. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBakery Hill Peated Malt Cask Strength Single Malt presents a rich gold russet of an evening sunset — the hallmark of a single malt matured for up to 8 years in American Oak Ex-Bourbon barrels at the Bakery Hill distillery in Melbourne, bottled individually from each barrel with no blending and no compromise. Commanding and immediately impressive in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAroma\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rich, subdued peat aroma opens with natural leathery earthiness — kumquat and fruit mince tart adding an exotic sweetness and complexity that is immediately distinctive. The Highland-style peat produces an earthy, rounded smoke with minimal medicinal or iodine notes, while the cask strength intensity amplifies every nuance of the malt with undiluted power and presence. Sweet, but not sickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePalate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palate reveals a tobacco leaf earthiness with layer upon layer of complex smoky peat that lingers on the lips and palate, demanding just one more sip. The moderate peating level strikes a perfect balance — sweet, rich malt flavours shine through the smoke with depth and satisfaction, intensified and undiluted at cask strength. A whisky of extraordinary complexity and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePairs With\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutstanding neat for the full cask strength experience, or with a few drops of water to open up its depth and complexity — equally enjoyable alongside dark chocolate, smoked meats, aged cheddar, dried fruits or a classic charcuterie board. The earthy peat, kumquat, tobacco leaf and fruit mince tart character make this one of the most rewarding and memorable Australian single malts available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🏆 \u003cstrong\u003eSouthern Hemisphere Whisky of the Year 2020\u003c\/strong\u003e — Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bakery Hill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48307195904249,"sku":null,"price":199.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/6820\/0441\/files\/bakery-hill-peated-cask-strength-single-malt-whisky-500ml.webp?v=1776815134","url":"https:\/\/winesellersdirect.com.au\/products\/bakery-hill-peated-malt-cask-strength-single-malt-whisky-500ml","provider":"Wine Sellers Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
