Craft Works 2 Sheds

Sydney Whisky Show May 20th 2023. Whisky #2 Nose: Raisins, sultanas, malt, wine. Acetone and a little sulphur. Palate: Big arrival, winey and malty in spades. Figs, spice, earth and some barrel char. It develops a cardboard note after a while. Finish: Medium. Malt, fruit and the varnish/acetone note returns. The distillate was sourced from Tin Shed Distilling in South Australia and racked into two reconditioned casks that were seasoned with red wine and sherry, and then matured at Craft Works Distillery in Capertree, NSW. This was an OK whisky, but not an exceptional one, and it showed a couple of less than wonderful traits I sometimes get from Two Sheds whisky in their Iniquity expressions. At the asking price I would not buy a bottle. “Average” : 79/100 (2.75 stars)
