Hobart Tasmanian single Malt Whisky - Peated Cask Finish
Introducing our very first release of 2024 – a whisky that takes you on a journey through casks with storied pasts and unparalleled character.
Matured initially in American oak ex-Bourbon casks, our whisky then voyages to rest in an ex-Islay whisky cask, imbibing the earthy peat and smoky whispers of its legacy. The odyssey concludes in a lightly-peated Hillrock Rye Whiskey cask, lending a finish that’s both complex and captivating.limited
Crafted for those who seek depth and distinction in every sip, this limited release harmonises the sweetness introduced by its American oak and ex-Bourbon influences with the natural, earthy peat from the ex-Islay whisky cask. The result? A balance so sublime, it’s more than just a whisky – it's a narrative in every glass.
Availability is limited, underscoring the care, passion, and artistry that has gone into its creation. Ensure you secure your bottle of this exclusive release and partake in a tasting experience that is as rich in history as it is in flavour.
Nose: An inviting aroma of sweet vanilla and caramel emerges from the American oak and ex-Bourbon casks, setting the stage for subtle hints of smoky peat, courtesy of its time in an ex-Islay cask. The bouquet is complemented by a light floral essence, weaving a complex and inviting introduction.
Palate: At first sip, the sweetness of the American oak continues, offering notes of honey and ripe orchard fruits. This sweetness swiftly intertwines with the distinctive earthy peat from the ex-Islay cask, creating a rich tapestry of flavours. The journey through the palate culminates in a vibrant crescendo of spice and warmth from the lightly-peated Hillrock Rye Whiskey cask, adding a lively and invigorating dimension to the experience.
Finish: The finish is long and rewarding, with the spice from the rye cask presenting as a pleasant heat that lingers, mingling with enduring notes of oak and a whisper of smoke. This warmth is not just a testament to the whisky's robust 54.2% ABV, but also a nod to the craftsmanship involved in its maturation process.
