Nant French Oak Port Matured

Nant is everything an idyllic island distillery should be sited in the wilds of Tasmania with a smart visitor center and a bar that overlooks the rolling rugged countryside. The whiskey though is surprisingly gentle and soft. There is an overly simplistic sweet sherry version but this gutsier berry-soaked sweet and rounded version is the one to watch. It's a work in progress but the cleanliness and flavor development hint at great things. Watch this space. $AUS 190/500 ml
