Tasting Notes
Amber Lane ‘Air’ Single Malt Whisky 700ml
53.5% ABV | Australian Single Malt Whisky | Alchemical Series
A Profound Connection to the Elements
Amber Lane Distillery, nestled in the lush Yarramalong Valley of New South Wales, has swiftly garnered acclaim for its meticulous approach to whisky-making. Eschewing shortcuts, the distillery emphasizes long fermentations, deliberate distillation, and extended maturation in premium casks. This commitment to craftsmanship is evident in every bottle, and Air stands as a testament to this philosophy.
Air is a single cask expression that began its maturation journey in a second-fill ex-Botrytis Semillon cask (Cask 295). This unique cask imparts delicate floral notes and a refined complexity, resulting in a whisky that is both ethereal and nuanced.
On the nose, Air offers an inviting bouquet of white blossoms, citrus zest, and a hint of honey, complemented by subtle hints of freshly cut herbs and soft oak. The palate is equally engaging, presenting a harmonious blend of light orchard fruits, vanilla, and a touch of spice, underpinned by a silky texture that lingers gracefully. The finish is long and satisfying, with a gentle warmth that leaves a lasting impression.
This expression is not merely a whisky; it's a narrative of dedication and finesse. Air encapsulates Amber Lane's unwavering pursuit of balance and depth, delivering a whisky that is both refined and resonant.
