FURTIVE GHERKIN
Cask No. Distillery 149 Rare Release
NOT AVAILABLE AT STRATH LIQUOR MERCHANTS IN VICTORIA OR ARC LIQUOR IN KELOWNA
An inviting aroma consisting of millionaire’s shortbread, honeycomb ice cream, milk chocolate buttons and a slice of raspberry custard cake brought a smile to our faces. On the palate, we sipped a key lime milkshake made using coconut rum for a tropical twist that was sweet, tart and creamy.
Following the addition of water, we discovered pear and frangipane tart, battenberg cake, white chocolate and bourbon biscuits, with sea-salted peanuts in the finish. The mouthfeel was now that of a waxy oiliness with the sweet fruitiness of red berries, plus a spicy Bloody Mary served in a salt-rimmed highball glass to finish.
