Chief's Son has quickly become one of Australia's most respected family-run distilleries, producing robust, characterful spirit on the Mornington Peninsula with a distinctly hands-on approach. Forge is a refined evolution of their signature style, matured in second-fill French oak casks to soften the influence of the wood and allow the distillate's rich malt character and expressive fermentation notes to shine through. The result is approachable, beautifully balanced and unmistakably Australian. Nose:Sweet malt, banana toffee, hay and a touch of dried tobacco. Palate:Creamy malt sweetness, candied fruits, buttery chardonnay and soft oak with a delicate floral peat note. Finish:Medium in length with vanilla, ripe banana and lingering sweetness.
