#2 – HELLYERS ROAD AMERICAN OAK 18YO #2269.03

COUNTRY: Australia
ABV (PROOF): 56.4% (112.8)
PRICE: $ 230 | € 220
TYPE: Single Malt

The American Oak 18yo #2269.03 is a single cask, double distilled single malt created for Kirsch Import in Germany and The Nectar in Belgium.

It boasts a true explosion of flavors: there is a very fragrant, fresh tangerine dimension, sweet lemon, pineapple. With time, it turns into reddish fruit, with rounded and balanced plums and wet sultanas paired by salty fresh butter. The palate features high intensity and remarkable roundness, with toffee, burnt sugar, and sultanas, all this covered in sweet/dark spices. Some chocolate-covered almonds. Distant woody aromas as well. Extremely rewarding.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE

Among the whiskies tested in blind tastings and reviews throughout the year, those scoring the best get reselected. These products were then tried once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The only indication on the sample concerns the ABV content: a red mark states that the product has an ABV higher than 50% (100° proof). The test results are then compared, and the TOP 10 is made.

This list will be published in detail in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5 .
