Produced by Hobart Whisky in Tasmania, this distinctive single malt spends four years maturing in American oak ex-bourbon casks before undergoing an additional eighteen months of finishing in French oak Tawny casks. The initial bourbon maturation establishes a foundation of honeyed vanilla, toasted coconut and gentle oak sweetness, while the Tawny casks introduce rich dried fruits, warm spices and elegant tannic structure. This combination brings together two complementary styles of maturation, creating a sophisticated interplay between vibrant orchard fruit, luxurious confectionery notes and the deeper richness of fortified wine. Bottled at 43.8% ABV, the whisky offers an inviting balance of sweetness, complexity and refined warmth, making it an expressive example of contemporary Australian single malt production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe extended Tawny finishing period lends remarkable aromatic complexity, revealing layers of ripe apricot, candied orange peel and caramelised fig alongside roasted almonds, baking spices and delicate dark chocolate. On the palate, a silky, full-bodied texture carries generous flavours of creamy toffee, butterscotch, plump raisins and stewed plums, complemented by red berries and subtle toasted hazelnut. French oak contributes fine tannins and gentle structure, while cinnamon and nutmeg add a warming savoury dimension that balances the whisky's natural fruit sweetness. The finish is long and luxurious, unfolding through lingering vanilla bean, espresso and delicate oak spice, with the richness of the Tawny casks providing exceptional depth and persistence. Elegant and approachable, this single malt can be enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water and pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, roasted nuts, dried fruits and rich caramel-based desserts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Rich, fruit-laden and elegantly spiced\u003cbr\u003eHoneyed vanilla, toasted coconut, ripe apricot and candied orange peel mingle with caramelised figs, roasted almonds, baking spices and delicate dark chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Silky, full-bodied and beautifully layered\u003cbr\u003eCreamy toffee and butterscotch unfold alongside plump raisins, stewed plums and red berries, complemented by nutmeg, cinnamon, toasted hazelnuts and refined French oak tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long, luxurious and warmly spiced\u003cbr\u003eLingering vanilla bean, espresso and gentle oak spice are carried by the rich sweetness of Tawny-matured fruit, leaving a harmonious, elegant and beautifully persistent conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand - Hobart Whisky\u003cbr\u003eStyle - Single Malt\u003cbr\u003eCountry - Australia\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Tasmania\u003cbr\u003eABV - 43.3%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 500ml\u003cbr\u003eCask Strength - No\u003cbr\u003eCask Finish - Port\u003cbr\u003ePeat Level - Unpeated\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hobart Whisky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44511577636951,"sku":"HOBART-TAWNY","price":129.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/50e44c55-aaad-4656-80d8-e17a552dfc2c.webp?v=1792543629","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/hobart-whisky-tawny-port-cask-finish-single-malt-whisky-500ml","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
