This World Whisky Day, Cheese & Cheers is launching new international whiskies from Australia, Ireland, and Scotland! Available for tasting, by the glass, and bottle sales starting on May 15th. Special whisky tasting flight will continue until May 31st.
Archie Rose's Single Malt (Australia) - This Single Malt Whisky is crafted to highlight six malts, as opposed to the traditional one or two, providing a richer and more expressive flavour, full of distinct regional character. Matured predominantly in toasted and charred Australian apera casks, ex-bourbon and their own 36-month air-dried ex-rye casks this whisky reveals fresh herbs, shortbread biscuits, raisins, toffee and dark chocolate on the nose with a luscious palate of sticky date pudding, amaretto and espresso.
Archie Rose's Rye Malt (Australia) - Their preference for malted rye over the far more commonly used unmalted rye affords this whisky a point of distinction evident upon the very first sip. A layered, aromatic spirit it offers notes of spiced custard, ginger, stone fruit and baked apple pie with a fresh herbal finish that lingers on the palate.
Dunville's 1808 (Ireland) - A classic blend of malt, grain and pot still whiskies, Dunville's 1808 is a revial of one of Ireland's most famous whiskey brands and pays homage to the year the original brand was established. It is described as a light and clean blend, bursting with character and with notes of sweet vanilla and orchard fruits, lemon curd, candied citrus peel and malty sweetness.
Dunville's Three Crowns (Ireland) - Three Crowns is a premium blended Irish Whiskey containing some of Dunville's older stock. It has been selected from three fine aged whiskies and finished in a parcel of three ex-Sherry casks. There are notes of orchard fruits, nougat, peanut brittle, butterscotch, citrus, green apples and hints of spice.
Glenglassaugh's Portsoy (Scotland) - Named after the neighbouring harbour village of Portsoy which inspires the deep maritime flavour of this richly peated single malt, matured in sherry, bourbon and port casks. Won a Silver Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Comp 2024.
Glenglassaugh's Sandend (Scotland) - Inspired by the crescent beach of Sandend Bay, Glenglassaugh's Sandend Whisky is matured in bourbon, sherry and manzanilla casks for luscious waves of flavour. Won a Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Comp 2024.
Cheese & Cheers is located at the Vines Village at 193 Rapaura Road, Marlborough. Open 10am to 5pm every day.
