Light Of My Life - Hero

$1,050.00

"Watchful and enduring. Savoury depth, warmth, and restrained radiance."

Nuance & Notes

Like the goddess who kept watch through night and storm, Hero has been shaped by the elements as much as by oak. Matured across wine and bourbon casks before a measured finish in ex-Port oak, and exposed for years to the sun, frost, wind, and rain of the Southern Highlands, she reveals a profile both resilient and softly radiant. What begins with savoury depth unfolds into honeyed warmth, red fruit richness, citrus lift, and gentle spice - a whisky that carries its light with assurance, even through darkness.

Nose

Savoury depth rises first - umami broth, earthy mushroom, and a touch of sea salt - before sweetness unfurls in torrone, honeycomb, pistachio, almond, and burnt toffee.

Red berry notes emerge quietly beneath: stewed cherry, berry compote, and a hint of wine-soaked fruit, shaped by subtle char and toasted oak.

Citrus brightens with lemon oil, candied peel, grated apple, and orange zest, lifting the richness like soft light through shadow.

White pepper, menthol, dried tobacco, winter herbs, and a faint smoky warmth drift gently, giving the nose calm strength and quiet radiance.

Palate

The palate opens with savoury and nutty depth, quickly joined by a creamy, warming mouthfeel that coats the tongue.

Honeyed toffee, caramelised butter, torrone-like nuttiness, and soft burnt sugar build richness through the mid-palate.

Red fruit and citrus weave together - stewed apple, candied peel, dried berries, and roasted fruit - bringing lift without sharpness.

White pepper, gentle heat, cooling menthol, tea leaf, dried herbs, and a trace of char add structure and restraint.

Savoury and sweet remain in measured balance throughout.

Finish

Long and softly luminous.

Creamy warmth fades into toasted nuts and subtle oak char; citrus peel and dried red fruit settle into stewed fruit depth.

Nougat, dried tobacco, and caramelised butter remain in the final glow - warm, steady, and enduring.
