Review

Not for me
I liked it
I loved it!

After trying a few of their small batch whiskey's from the Kinglake Distillery the Goodbye Popeye stood out as a disnticntly unique and incredibly enjoyable dram. We loved the tawny port influence to give it that toasty sweet flavour and the balance between the wood and the fruit was impressive. While this may be hard to find, because it scored so well, we've included it for those lucky enough to stumble upon this rare but outstanding expression where Rutherglen Tawny Port meets Australian Whiskey.

Occasion

Defnitely a winter drop curled up in front of the fire with a loved one or good mates as an after dinner drink. Accompany with a few nibbles and you will not be disappointed

Right for you?

You may struggle to find this as it is a small distillary with limited runs. If you are lucky enough to find it will be worth it. A fantastic present for a whiskey conneseur who has tried everything or keep it for yourself for a cosy night.
