This isn't your average distillery; these guyss are all about pushing boundaries and crafting unique spirits that are shaking things up in the world of whisky.
The first thing that struck me about Headlands is their passion for using entirely Australian-grown ingredients. They're all about showcasing the best of Aussie produce, from the grain they source directly from local farms to the innovative cask finishes they experiment with.
One of the standout offerings from Headlands Distillery is their Apera Cask whisky. This limited-edition release is matured in casks that previously held Apera, which are basically Aussie cousins to Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks, it promises a flavour profile unlike any other. Basically, imagine the sunshine and coastal vibes of Wollongong meeting the rich, fortified wine heritage of South Australia. Intriguing, right?
My Tasting Notes
Nose: The aroma is a delightful blend of fruity notes, with prominent hints of peach, apricot, and strawberry gum. A touch of sweet caramel adds a comforting warmth.
Taste: The palate is rich and mouth-coating, with flavours of marmalade, stewed fruit, and a subtle nuttiness. The finish is medium to long, with lingering oak and dried fruit notes.
Overall Impression
The Apera Cask is a truly exceptional whisky that showcases the skill and craftsmanship of Headlands Distillery. The unique combination of flavours, derived from the Apera cask finish, creates a complex and enjoyable experience. If you're a whisky enthusiast looking for something truly special, I highly recommend giving the Apera Cask a try.
