Project I & II
After the successful release of Tyger in December 2017, Rare Cask Society is proud to announce our Second single cask, single malt Australian Whisky release ‘Eagle’.
The Whisky
Limited to 100 bottles for ‘Tyger’ and 143 bottles for ‘Eagle’. Single Cask, Cask Strength. Non-chill filtered Single Malt Whisky. We have purchased the last remaining cask from a closed distillery in South Australia, aged 5 years in American Oak Port Casks.
All bottles are hand-numbered and batched. Each bottle comes in its own custom-made, velvet lined Rare Cask Society gift box.
Tasting Notes
-
Tyger
Colour: Enticing dark sticky caramel laced with honey
Nose: Maple syrup with candied pecans. Oak, subtle spices and dried orange peel. Delicate, sweet Christmas pudding.
Palate: Butterscotch, cognac soaked raisins and a touch of marzipan. Soft syrupy and luxurious mouthfeel that starts dangerously warm but is soon comforting.
Finish: Very long and lingering finish. Perfect with a Cuban cigar.
ABV 66%
-
Eagle
Colour: Maple Syrup glistening in the Autumn sun
Nose: Ripe Plums, Spices and Mint. A refreshing walk through a dry meadow, with hints of leather and cedar wood.
Palate: Lightly sweet, cooked orange peel, with some dry dark chocolate. Followed by some white pepper and a hint of nutmeg.
Finish: Good complexity and length on the finish, with some roasted almonds.
ABV 53%
