The Pinot 46% presents the Old Kempton house style through the prism of Tasmanian Pinot Noir casks. The pinot casks produce a bright vibrant style of whisky that captures the blackcurrant, mulberry, and spiced cherry flavours of the wine and balances them with a beautiful depth of malt and oak. We mature our Pinot Noir casks for a relatively short period of time (4.5 years) to maintain the vibrancy and avoid the whisky becoming dominated by tannins that make it unpleasantly dry and astringent.

OKD house style matured exclusively in Tasmanian Pinot Cask, a vibrant fruity whisky with plenty of berries and French oak spices.

Cask Type: Tasmanian Pinot Noir

Age: No age statement. Usually ~4.5 years in quarter casks (100L-125L)

Nose: this dram presents delicate lifted floral notes with a sweet cherry element that is the signature of Pinot Noir ageing.
Palate: a clean and sweet explosion of flavours greets the palate then settles to a warm and delicately delicious mixture of the stone fruit and floral elements.
The finish is long and clean with lingering chocolate and toffee sweetness underlying the crisp pinot cask oak tannins which give this dram its elegant appeal.
