Highwayman x Whisky Abbey 2025 "Louis The Blade of Byron" Peated Single Malt Australian Whisky 500ml, 55%

Tasting Notes

Nose: Smoked and salted butter on freshly baked sour dough. Hints of minerality coupled with a soft vanilla and spiced agave syrup. Beach bonfire smoke. Flashes of desiccated coconut and hints of grapefruit with time in the glass

Palate: Sea salt and earthy minerals up front. Then hints of citrus and vanilla across the mid palate leading into a fantastic Smokey crescendo that peaks towards the back palate.

Finish: A perfect balance of all the best notes of Highwayman and Laphroaig in equal balance. With a long dry & ashy finish.
