We believe in offering an unparalleled spirit experience. A significant element of this commitment lies in our choice of oak casks: French Oak and American Oak. Understanding the nuances of these woods unlocks the secret to the unique profile of our Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky.
French Oak is globally renowned for its tight grain and the ability to impart subtle, sweet notes into the spirits it cradles. The intricate grain pattern results from slow growth in more fabulous European forests.
Our French Oak Cask Single Malt Whisky is distinguished by its balanced spirit and harmonious grain flavours. Each sip transports you to the serene landscapes of Tasmania, with whispers of the European countryside.
French Oak's sophistication enhances the whisky's body, making every sip a memorable journey of taste.
American Oak, primarily sourced from warmer regions, grows faster, producing a looser grain. This wood introduces spirited notes of green grassiness combined with the seductive tones of vanilla and caramel.
Dive into our American Oak Cask offering to relish in the full-bodied American oak flavour juxtaposed beautifully with Tasmanian craftsmanship.
The American Oak's boldness ensures a whisky with character, promising an indulgent experience.
Our passion for crafting premium whiskies drives us to select only the finest materials. The choice between French and American Oak isn't about superiority but diversity. Each oak type has unique attributes, lending our whiskies different aromatic and taste profiles. By offering both, we celebrate the rich tapestry of flavours that these majestic trees bestow upon our spirits.
Employing the traditional Portuguese Alembic Pot stills and gas-fired burners, we ensure a slow distillation process that accentuates the individual characteristics of each Oak. It's a testament to our dedication to maintaining premium quality, clean, smooth, and, most importantly, elegantly distinct spirits.
