Penelope Private Select 4 Year Old, Toasted Oak Cask, Batch No. 22-302, Whiskey Hunt Australia, 57.5%

Sweet oak, vanilla wafer and caramel are right in my lane. The silky palate puts sweetness ahead of spice, while the warming finish brings the oak back. I’d like a little more spice, but there’s plenty here to like.
