TBWC Launceston 5YO 500mL

The Launceston 5 Year Old opens with a gentle, refined nose that captures the cool, maritime climate of Tasmania. Aromas of poached pears, golden apple, and vanilla cream rise first, followed by soft malt biscuits, almond nougat, and subtle hints of lemon balm. A light floral edge—like chamomile and heather—adds delicacy, while faint oak spice lends structure. On the palate, the whisky is smooth, elegant, and beautifully layered. Flavors of honey-drizzled cereal, baked orchard fruits, and white chocolate unfold gradually, accompanied by toasted oak and a whisper of clove and white pepper. A soft, creamy texture carries the flavors with poise, while a subtle citrus freshness keeps the profile lively and balanced. The finish is clean and medium-length, with lingering notes of malted barley, vanilla pod, and a gentle dryness reminiscent of oaked Chardonnay. A touch of nutmeg and roasted almond lingers on the fade.
