A very happy accident! Delicious, tropical and fruity. A great addition to the collection.

Rumbled (Old Kempton Distillery)

What an absolute cracker of a whisky! 10 out of 5 I've had some great Australian whisky and Justin continues to deliver top shelf drams....incredibly top....top of the top!! From the first sip, I knew this was another winner. Beautifully smooth, rich and creamy, with a sweetness that gives way to a slightly salty finish. At 55%, it's got plenty of punch, but it's so well balanced that it's dangerously easy to drink. Just a seriously enjoyable whisky that keeps you coming back for another sip...and why it sits right next to my 'thinking' chair! I managed to grab two bottles, one to enjoy now and one to put away for later...which may end up being sooner than later! Justin, you've absolutely knocked this one out of the park. This is exactly why I love your whisky. Well played. An absolute belter. 🥃

Customer photo review of You Don't Know Jacques (Hobart Whisky)

I first tasted this whisky at Whisky on the Murray and it doesn’t disappoint when opening my bottle. There is sharp oak from the French oak cask but mellowed by the ex Bourbon cask finishing.

You Don't Know Jacques (Hobart Whisky)

Store owner replied: Great to meet you at Whisky On The Murray mate. Hopefully see you next year? Excellent photos too!

There are not enough superlatives for Supernova. Quite simply Justin has raised the bar yet again. This one will not last very long.
