Corowa 4 Year Old / Batch 2 / That Boutique-y Whisky Company Australian Whisky

Amira Benali — Decent Aussie single malt

7/10

Poured this neat after dinner and it's pleasant enough. Toffee and light citrus on the nose, a bit of baking spice on the palate. Finishes a touch short for my liking and I wish it had a bit more complexity, but for a young Australian whisky it shows real promise.

Isla McCallister — Punchy for a young one

8/10

Really impressed by how much character Corowa has packed into just four years. Big tropical fruit and honey on the nose, then this lovely spiced oak finish that lingers. At 46.8% it's got enough kick to keep things interesting neat. Australia is doing some seriously good whisky right now.

Sibel Nur — Great conversation starter

8/10

Brought this to a tasting night and everyone wanted to know about it. The tropical fruit notes caught people off guard — nobody expected that from a 4 year old. Batch 2 feels well put together and drinks older than its age statement suggests. Would happily share this one again.

Freya Lindqvist — Interesting but pricey

7/10

Look, it's a solid dram — creamy vanilla, some stone fruit, a touch of cinnamon. But £93 for a 4 year old single malt is a tough ask when there are Scottish bottles at that price with triple the age. I'd buy it once for the experience but probably wouldn't restock.

Priscilla Nunes — Solid but not a daily pour

7/10

Nice enough whisky that I enjoyed working through over a couple of weeks. Warm honey and vanilla up front, some gentle oak and pepper toward the end. It's well made for sure, but at this price point I'd reach for my usual Speysides more often. Worth trying if you're curious about what Australia can do though.

Gianluca Ferro — Boutique-y nailed this one

9/10

I've tried a few TBWC bottlings and this Corowa might be my favourite. There's a gorgeous butterscotch and dried apricot thing going on, and the 46.8% ABV is spot on — strong enough to carry the flavours without burning. Added a few drops of water and it opened up even more. Genuinely special.
