    Just joined a Sullivans Cove tasting tour yesterday, and I have to say that the 3 available products they have for tasting are very very good. The nose are not so prominent but the taste are superbly flavoursome with a long aftertaste, which has to do with the local barley they use. Definitely not 3 times whiskey of the year for nothing, even though the price winners are no longer available for purchase. Part of me wish that they can ramp up their production to make them more available at a more palatable price, and another part of me can’t help but appreciate the craftsmanship they have vowed to maintain regardless of the high demand.

    Australian whiskies are VERY difficult to find in California except for Starward. But Tom R. (God bless him!) gave me 2 bottles of Lark whiskies, the Small Cask and the Small Cask Aged and Small Cask Aged Cask Strength - both are awesome. FYI, Cinsault isn't a sweet wine, it is a big rustic red wine from Southern France / The Rhone. You were probably thinking of a Sauterne, which is a botrytized sweet wine made from Sauvignon Blanc and Semillion from the Graves region of Bordeaux France. Lark Distillery uses Tasmanian peat which provides more heather notes than what is normally associated with the Scottish Islands.

    Grew up in Tassie - we lost a lot of major industries in the early 2000's so the government/private industry invested a lot of cash into the tourism industry and the state is now booming. They're producing world class whisky, gin, beer and really pushing food boundaries using fresh natural ingredients. It's a lovely part of the world and for anyone travelling to Aus, it's worth hiring a car for a week and driving around Tasmania.

  • @jareds1536
    @jareds1536 5 років тому +1

    I just want to point out how much value William donated. Retail here in Aus the Sullivans Cove is $220, Lark Classic is $180 and Hellyers is $100. Tasmania may be good for whisky, but its such low volume that most locals are priced out of the market - I assume William must be loaded.

  • @Linnaen

    Daniel needs to try the movie Red Dog. The reason you only hear snippets about Australian whiskies is because they are mostly so expensive. Frequently above $200 for 500ml of very young whisky.

    Actually, the two Korean style bottles should be comprehended by the context of Korean food culture. Unlike western style cuisine, which serves strong flavor dishes sequentially, and pairing with proper marriage for each, we, Korean, use way more big table and serves all the dishes simultaneously. The traditional Korean foods are consisted with main dish, rice, and many different levels of side dishes. The high level side dishes are mostly marinaded beef, minced meat, steamed, pan fried, or fermented fishes, and some soups that are called Shin-sun-ro which is made by many healthy ingredients with complex flavor. Mid and low level of side dishes are various kinds of Na-mul such as more than hundreds kinds of parboiled or raw marinaded vegetables and fermented foods such as Kim-chi. Because of so many foods in one table, the most important thing is balance between rice and all side dishes, balance between high and low level side dishes, and the balance between alcohol and all the dishes on the table. This is the reason why Korean whisky: Soju does not have strong character. But if you enjoy with Korean style meal, you can find the exact function of the Soju which largely improve the balance and harmony of all the dishes on the table. :)

    So I recently remembered something. A few years back when my wife and I first started renting our place, there was some furniture that her dad had left on the front porch of the house. It sat there, undisturbed, for about a year (and about a year prior to us moving in). One of the pieces was a side table with a “hidden” compartment. I lift the lid to find no less than 5 BOTTLES of whiskey! The main one I remember was a bottle of some holiday spiced Jack Daniels, among other sundry spirits. I fought with myself about mooching one or more of the bottles, especially since they belong to my landlord/father in-law. My better judgement (her name is Kayla) stepped in and said that it would be dishonest. :0( dang conscience! Not long after, I took it upon myself to carry the whiskey-laden contraption down the road to their back porch. Upon my arrival, my mother in-law thanks me, proceeds to thank me and the opens the side table... “OH S#!+!!! There’s booze in here!!!” I slapped my head internally... they had no idea it was there. So I think back and ask myself, was this a missed mooch opportunity? Or an altruistic sommelier spirit bear in the making?

    Daniel, looks like there may be a re-think of the cause of the green funk taste. In the past you postulated the funk came from the barrels being too green (the wood needed more time in the kiln). Today the note to green funk was caused by taking too wide of cuts - end of head to tails.
