Enchantress, The Spell Binder, Mesmerisingly beautiful and wise.
She weaves magic, holding all who partake under a spell.
Our first release of Enchantress comes from a vatting of two 100 litre casks previously containing McWilliams Apera. The casks were scraped and given a low char to achieve a well balanced whisky. It has beautiful mahogany appearance; a silky mouthfeel with dried fruit, cream sherry and light oak on the palate.

Tasting notes by Angus Smith
Nose: Nicely balanced oak from the get go. Some semi-savoury warm caramels, toasted baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, vanilla pod) and sherryish dried fruits, mostly raisins and sultanas. With time a little tobacco and tropical fruit emerge, which combined with the caramel almost gives a barbadan rum vibe.
Palate: Much more apparently Australian sherry cask- walnuts, some of the typical umami and rancio a la cooked mushroom, some soft tannins, more of that dried fruit with spice and tobacco. Again, I get some well matured rum tones in here, but the finish dries out with the tannins. The spirit itself appears uber clean, super soft at 46%. Delicate leather on the finish.
