B5.14 Spaghetti western

Description

From the team

The member-favourite Distillery B5 returns to Outturn with Cask B5.14 Spaghetti western a creamy yet savoury single-cask Tennessee bourbon matured for seven years in a 1st fill char barrel. We debuted this cask at a small Single Cask Spirits tasting in Melbourne at the end of May to great praise — now is your chance to see what all the hype is about. A punchy and warming Single Cask Spirit to cozy up to for the middle of winter. Traditional Italian sweets on the palate but some more savoury herbs and spices on the nose. A stellar pick for Malt of the Month at the discounted price of $189 — RRP of $199 from the 1st of August.

Tasting Panel notes

This had plenty of goodness on the nose neat: butterscotch, crème caramel, sticky toffee pudding, hot chocolate and roasted chestnuts in cinnamon butter. To taste we found creamy pork tenderloin medallions, served with a sauce that included dijon mustard, herbes de provence and a rose harissa paste. Following reduction, we sat on a wooden veranda in a rocking chair smoking a pipe and eating macerated strawberries with balsamic and black pepper. On the palate, we tucked into a traditional Italian sweet bread called pandoro, which at the festive time of the year had turned into stella di pandoro with chantilly custard cream and cranberries — bellissima!
