Old Fat Unicorn, a wine brand owned by Endeavour Group’s Pinnacle Drinks, has announced two new products to its line-up, both of which have been aged in former whisky barrels prior to bottling. The use of whisky barrels for at least 25% of the blend imparts distinctive notes of vanilla and caramel to the final wines.
The release, which includes a Barossa Shiraz and a Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon, is being bottled as part of Old Fat Unicorn’s Golden Horn range.
“The wine is expertly crafted with smooth, velvety depth that the ex-whisky barrel ageing provides,” said Ricky Young, Dan Murphy’s Assistant Category Manager of Red Wine.
Winemaker Brittany John added, “this Old Fat Unicorn wine includes portions finished in used whisky barrels giving the wine an interesting flavour twist. The old whisky barrels impart nuances of caramel and malt with a hint of aromatic spice, adding another dimension to these rich and textured wines.”
The Golden Horn Whisky Barrel Barossa Shiraz 2022 and the Golden Horn Whisky Barrel Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 are available now from BWS for $24 and Dan Murphy’s for $18.99. For more information, click here.
