500ml / 42.1% ABV

Description

After years of plying our trade on gins, then vodkas, and then playing around with agave... whisky feels like a pretty natural progression for us.

As our palates have evolved (largely from our journey with producing barrel aged gins), we've become obsessed with experimenting with flavour, barrels, smoke, oak and maturation!

This series is our playground for honing our whisky craft.

Every release is a small-batch exploration into how different barrels, finishes, and techniques can completely transform a whisky. Some releases are bold, some subtle, and some end up nothing like we expected - which is half the fun.
Flavour profile

A balanced Australian whisky with a subtle layer of smoke, aged in French oak and blended with peated whisky. Smooth and well-rounded, with the smoke adding complexity without overpowering the palate.

  • Nose: Light smoke, vanilla, soft oak, hint of red fruit
  • Palate: Gentle peat, creamy vanilla, oak spice, touch of red fruit richness from the wine cask
  • Finish: Soft, warming and lightly smoky
How do I drink it?

We always recommend trying it neat first, then over ice, then with a mixer if that’s your thing. There’s no wrong way to drink whisky!

Or try:

  • With cola
  • Whisky sour
  • Penicillin cocktail (with ginger and lemon juice)
