This whisky is a combination of the best, most active casks that Spirit Thief have distilled and have maturing in their warehouse in Tasmania. The Inaugural edition - Future Black - Directors Cut is designed to be a vision of what kind of whisky the Directors at Spirit Thief wants to produce in the Future in 2030 when they have more aged stocks to pick from. They just don't have enough casks mature enough to produce this vision outside of this limited edition yet but its a great sign if this is where they are heading. This is by far the best Spirit Thief whisky I've tasted - its also by far the most expensive as if it is a collectors item rather than something to be drunk and it's limited to 500 bottles bottled at 60%ABV. If they can consistently produce whiskies like this at decent volumes and $80-$100 cheaper then there is a very bright future ahead for Spirit Thief. Welchs Grape juice, toffee apple, lemon drizzle cake, toasted custard brioche, mars bar. Great luxurious mouthfeel much less wine cask influence compared to earlier Spirit Thief releases.
I've actually been wanting to taste this so I can make up my mind to buy a bottle. When I found your site and saw it had this I immediately bought some tasting samples and absolutely loved it! Will definitely invest in a bottle
Heard for a while how good Littlemill’s can be. This SMWS 30yo certainly did not disappoint, the nose on this dram was amazing.
It was a flavour packed palete, that certainly stood out as such a fine whisky.
Thanks again Horny Pony for providing some banging drams, with a great service throughout
An absolutely amazing whisky, this Imperial 24yo was flavour heaven. Could see from the second it was poured into the Glencairn that it was something special.
Also the service provided by Horny Pony was brilliant, well recommended for anyone looking for trying some special whiskies.
