The nose is a fruit-filled adventure with notes of raisins, jam, and figs. The palate dances with orange peel, fruit cake richness, and a subtle embrace of oak. The finish, adorned with hints of tobacco and resin, is the perfect encore. A beautiful drop, Bruny Island is now on my radar – their port cask creation is a delightful masterpiece, marking them as a distillery to watch!
