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 bold Australian single malt smoked with native Riverland mallee root, delivering a distinctly local take on smoky whisky. Aged in a Heaven Hill bourbon cask, adding structure, warmth and depth.

  • Nose: Smoky, earthy, toasted wood, subtle sweetness
  • Palate: Bold smoke, charred oak, savoury depth, dry spice
  • Finish: Long, dry and smoky with lingering warmth
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 a splash of water
  • Smoky old fashioned
  • Hot buttered whisky
