TASTING NOTES

Amber Lane ‘Liquid Amber’ Single Malt Whisky 700ml
48% ABV | Australian Single Malt Whisky

Crafted in the verdant Yarramalong Valley of New South Wales, Amber Lane’s Liquid Amber embodies a masterful blend of tradition and innovation. This premium single malt whisky is distinguished by its meticulous production process, featuring long fermentations, precise double distillation, and extended maturation in a unique combination of ex-Pedro Ximénez (PX), Australian Apera sherry casks, and a subtle influence from ex-bourbon barrels.

The result is a whisky of exceptional complexity and balance. On the nose, it greets you with rich aromas of toffee, chocolate-coated honeycomb, and maple syrup, layered with bright notes of orange zest, dried apricots, and figs. The palate unfolds with vibrant flavors of ripe mango, guava, and liquorice, beautifully supported by aromatic oak and a gentle spice. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lingering touch of sweet cinnamon that invites another sip.

Amber Lane’s adventurous cask program is central to Liquid Amber’s distinctive character. By maturing the spirit in a blend of Australian and international barrels, including ex-red wine casks, the whisky gains a lively fruit depth and a sophisticated interplay of red berries, oak spice, and malt complexity.

This expression has received esteemed recognition, earning Gold at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Gold at the 2024 International Wine and Spirit Competition, and Silver at the 2025 International Wine & Spirits Competition. These accolades underscore Amber Lane’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

Scores

94/100

Liquid Amber is designed to showcase the character of Spanish Pedro Ximénez and Australian Apera fortified wines, with just a splash of bourbon cask in the batch for balance. Despite all that massive sherry influence, the nose still has a nice freshness, with the freshly-opened box of sultanas note of PX jumping out of the glass. I love the combination of restrained European oak and the dustier, dryer timber of Australian fortified casks at play here, and the alcohol is well-controlled compared to other Amber Lane releases. Liquorice and dried rosebuds dance around with pear drops on the nose, with good integration and complexity at play. On the palate, PX sweetness up front leads to a wonderful throughline of fruitcake and creamy peach lollies, with a finish of lingering, gentle tannin. Wow, this really sticks the landing! There are far more expensive whiskies on the Aussie market that don't express sherry cask nearly this well, so bravo.
