Tasting Notes
Nose
Oily, with sweet, estery notes of pear drops and papaya joined by caraway seed cake, foam bananas, ginger, and Murray Mints.
Palate
A soft, oily start, with slick molasses and sweet, dried orange wheels leading to sticky ginger loaf and boozy sultanas.
Finish
Rich, tannic oak arrives for the finish, bringing drying notes of earthy tea alongside gingery heat, chilli chocolate, and a touch of oily brine.
Specific References

Founded in 1999, Bakery Hill Distillery is run by ex-High School chemistry teacher David and his son Andrew. Family run, small batch, with a focus on quality over quantity. It was established to prove a point - that great single malt whiskies could be made outside of Scotland, and specifically in Australia. Bakery Hill buck the trend of many wine-cask driven Australian whiskies, favouring predominantly ex-bourbon barrels.
