Tasting Notes
Amber Lane ‘Fire’ Single Malt Whisky 700ml
57.3% 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 Fire stands as a testament to this philosophy.
Fire is a single cask expression that began its maturation journey in an ex-Bourbon cask before being finished in a peated ex-Islay barrel (Cask 348). This dual cask maturation imparts a complex array of flavors, resulting in a whisky that is both robust and nuanced.
On the nose, Fire offers an inviting bouquet of smoky peat, charred oak, and subtle hints of vanilla, complemented by underlying notes of dried fruits and spice. The palate is equally engaging, presenting a harmonious blend of rich malt, smoky embers, and a touch of sweetness, underpinned by a creamy texture that lingers gracefully. The finish is long and satisfying, with a warm, smoky embrace that leaves a lasting impression.
This expression is not merely a whisky; it's a narrative of dedication and finesse. Fire encapsulates Amber Lane's unwavering pursuit of balance and depth, delivering a whisky that is both fiery and refined.
