Hey mate, turned out well.most of it aged for about a year & after that time it was quite good. Had a fairly distinctive taste from the wattle seed which was almost overpowering though. Not saying it was unpleasant or anything but I was wanting more of the barley flavour to shine through.
I fermented & stripped another batch a few weeks ago, juat have to do the spirit run on it still. This time I fermented and distilled on the grain, used a different barley variety (but still pilsner malt like the last batch) & used half the amount of wattle seed. We'll see how this batch turns out once I get the spirit run done.
It was definitely worth it though, turned out to be one of my favourite whiskeys so far!
