Very different whisky. It's like drinking a Xmas pudding, lots of flavours from the wood and not much else. Great with desserts.
About this bottle
From Willowbank Distillery in Dunedin, New Zealand, (what was once the world's southernmost distillery until they closed), comes the 10 Year Old Doublewood. This little oddity was aged for 6 years in American oak before finishing in French oak ex-New Zealand pinot noir barrels for an additional four years. The distillery itself closed in 1997, with the last of the 80,000 liters (443 barrels) bought in 2010 by the New Zealand Whisky Company who have released this bottling.

This is a sweet and harsh whiskey. Not an easy finish. A bit of water finds butterscotch and softens up the finish. '2.5'
Nice concept. Would like to see it in 5 years
