Heartwood & TIB Stables® Heartwood & TIB Stables A Rose Between Two Thorns Cask Strength Blended Whisky 500ml – 8882607391007

This is the second edition to our two part series with TIB.

We selected this drop together with Wouldn’t Have the Heart, when selecting casks immediately we knew that these two whiskies had to stay together.

You won’t see much different in specs on the two releases. It’s the same Renowned NSW distillery, the ABV dropping by 1 and only yielding 3 more bottles than its brother barrel. The big difference is obviously the cask type, this being Oloroso.

While there is plenty cask influence in this number, the TIB & Heartwood DNA, we find it more spirit forward. A beautiful double set from an outstanding whisky legend.

A Rose Between Two Thorns

Nose: Creme caramel, warm tea cake dusted with confectioners sugar, buttered raisin toast

Palate: sweet entry before brandy butter lathered pud comes to the fore. Viscous and oily.

Finish: Good length with spiked-fruit mince sweetness till the end. Quality cask.
