Jas has chosen tomorrow's spotlight for Neighbourhood Night!⁠
⁠
I'm back again and excited to showcase a truly unique and exciting spirit—Balcones Texas Pot Distilled Rum. Balcones began making whisky under a bridge in an old welding shop in Waco, Texas, in 2008, dedicating their entire 2,000-square-foot building to distilling spirits that honour the traditions of American whisky while satisfying their curiosity for unique flavours. Made from a selection of the finest dark molasses and aged on oak for at least two years, this Texas Rum is warming and spicy, with long-lasting notes of butterscotch and clove. After opening it up with a dash of water, it develops a soft, lingering anise flavour.⁠
⁠
I’d really love to be sitting around a campfire while drinking this. It feels almost like a whisky-rum hybrid, making it a fantastic bridge for either spirit enthusiast. If you don’t mind a little heat, I’d recommend it on the rocks, but I’d also love to experiment with it in a Revolver to spice things up and enhance the orange and dried fruit flavours.⁠
⁠
Cheers Jas!⁠
⁠
Grab yourself a nip of Balcones Texas Pot Distilled Rum tomorrow at 25% off plus $9 house wines, $16 house cocktails, $9 selected pints and half* price on Slice Shop Pizza for 'Neighbourhood Night'🍕

Our venue manager Jack has us covered our 'Spirit Spotlight' this week! Have a read of what Jack has to say about Garden Swift Gin below.

Garden Swift has been a staple on the back bar at Mr West for a while now. Made by Gloucester based distiller Barney Wilczak, this gin is made with 34 different botanicals that are grown, selected and harvested by Wilczak. As the batch sizes are only limited to 200 bottles there is often some variances batch to batch, but for me the Sicilian blood oranges used are always a dominating characteristic.

Fun fact, this is my Mum's favourite Gin and the only time she's sworn in a text message to me was when she first tried this Gin after I gifted her it for Christmas. Now whenever I gift her a different Gin it's always compared against this one. I would recommend having it in a G&T with a wedge of orange 🍊

Finish off your Tuesday with a Garden Swift G&T tomorrow at 25% off plus $9 house wines, $16 house cocktails, $9 selected pints and a very inviting half* price on Slice Shop Pizza for 'Neighbourhood Night'🍕⁠

Next up from our latest releases under our Good Juice wine label is the 2024 Good Juice 'White' Vermentino, Clare Valley, SA⁠
⁠
Good Juice is our very own wine label. This one made in collaboration with Jono Koerner at Gullyview Estate. 100% Vermentino, direct pressed, spontaneous fermentation in old French oak then aged in steel on fine lees for 9 months. No fining or filtering, minimal sulphur added. Aromas of citrus blossom, grapefruit, subtle white pepper. Fresh & clean but with some lovely light limestone driven mineral texture. Zippy acidity, lemon curd, nashi pear and classic Vermentino salinity. Delish!⁠
⁠
Good juice white is available in our bottle shop, online through this link https://mrwest.com.au/product/2024-good-juice-white/ and available on tap in the bar by the glass, half & full litre carafe's 🌞

Neighbourhood Night is back tomorrow and this week Lachy has another epic selection for our 'Spirit Spotlight' Have a read below of what Lachy has to say about the Kanosuke Distillery Single Malt 🥃

Kanosuke Distillery, located in Kagoshima on the very southwestern edge of Japan, is a relative newcomer to the Japanese whisky scene. Despite being born out of their parent company, Komasa Jyozo, which has been producing shochu in Japan since 1883, Kanosuke Distillery only released its first whisky single malt four years ago in 2021. Despite this short time span, Kanosuke whiskies have already been growing popular in whisky circles, as well as winning awards at international spirit competitions, making it hard not to see them becoming both harder to acquire and to afford in the future. Maybe that won’t happen, but just in case it does, I wanted to make sure I could feature their core Kanosuke single malt now as part of our spirit spotlight.

The single malt is distilled using a combination of the distillery’s three unique copper pot stills and then aged in ex-shochu casks. This process lends the Kanosuke single malt a uniqueness that allows it to hit the difficult balance of being mellow without being boring—dangerously smooth to drink but still having enough going on to not feel flat, with new notes and flavours to discover with successive tastings. The nose brings notes of caramel, banana, and breakfast tea, while the palate starts with red apple and ginger, then finishes with butterscotch and a mild bitterness, as well as a slight smokiness throughout.

I would recommend drinking it neat and avoiding chilling or dilution, as I feel that it starts to feel too thin. The one exception to this rule, of course, is if you are drinking it on the beaches of Kagoshima, right outside the Kanosuke distillery itself.

Cheers for the chat, Lachy!

Get your hands on Kanosuke Single Malt tomorrow at 25% off plus $9 house wines, $16 house cocktails, $9 selected pints and a very inviting half* price on Slice Shop Pizza🍕

We’re getting very excited for this Thursday’s triple IPA launch in the bar 🍻 Always one of our go-to breweries, no matter what beer mood we are in, Stomping Ground Brewery have created a beer mixtape that is getting us very excited. Hazy Sexy Cool is a trio of IPA’s unique and distinct in style, each just as bomb as the next. Getting tapped up in the bar on Thursday night will be 3 fantastic beers. Hazy IPA Chilling deep in a hazy hue, bright citrus and tropical fruit notes make this IPA hella juicy and super fresh. West Coast IPA A nod to the West Coast style, this golden OG bites back with a bitter edge of supafly grapefruit, resin and pine. Cold IPA Cool, calm and collected new world hops lend notes of pithy mandarin and tropical fruit balanced by dank NZ hops. Head down to Mr West this Thursday the 24th from 4pm to get your hands on some fresh Hazy Sexy Cool.
