NED enters flavoured whisky category with Golden Bickie
Building on the success of its canned RTD range, NED Australian Whisky has unveiled its first flavoured whisky, Golden Bickie.
Described by NED as a “quintessentially Australian entrant into the growing flavoured whisky category”, the Australian whisky liqueuer blends the warmth of whisky with the sweetness of golden syrup, creamy coconut and oats.
Trent Fraser, CEO at Top Shelf International, which produces NED and Golden Bickie, says the flavoured whisky is a flavourful and versatile addition to the portfolio.
“We wanted to create a whisky liqueur that was truly Australian in character. Golden Bickie captures the essence of Aussie comfort – sunshine, good company, and a touch of indulgence. It’s fitting of our mission statement to create world class spirits with an Australian accent and playfulness.”
Inspired by the nostalgia surrounding classic Australian biscuits and cake sales, tasting notes describe a familiar vanilla aroma, reminiscent of golden biscuits straight out of the oven. On the nose, the liqueur also has hints of syrup, oats and pastry.
