Matured in a re-charred ex-Australian wine cask this Riverbourne single malt is clean, complex and carefully balanced. Riverbourne favour ‘less active’ casks, aiming to encourage the development of complex, carefully balanced flavour profiles. Their whiskies are steadily growing in popularity across Australia. The distillery is run by Australia’s oldest distiller, Martin Pye, a third generation pharmacist. Martin utlises a wide range of yeast strains, and matures in carefully managed, re-charred ex-wine casks which let the spirit speak.

Founded in 2013 in urban Melbourne, Starward set out to create a consistent and approachable Australian whisky, designed to be cracked open and enjoyed with friends. Starward predominantly mature their whiskies in Australian Ex-Red Wine barrels, favouring Barossa Shiraz.

This whisky was originally matured in two small Ex-Tawny Port casks, before being moved to an ex-Pinot Gris cask, a rare sight in whisky production. Being located so close to the Adelaide vineyards, Tin Shed are perfectly poised to experiment with unusual cask types such as this. For production, Tin Shed use Australian made copper pot stills, electrically heated.

Caol Ila Batch 23, 14 Year Old - From a refill hoggie laid down in December 2008, we’ve re-racked this Caol Ila into first fill Oloroso Octaves to give a bold fruit flavour.

The Caol Ila distillery is situated on the north-east coast of Islay, has has been producing spectacular single malt Scotch whisky since 1846! A very well-loved distillery, producing stunning peated expressions, and in recent years have been experimenting with unpeated malt too. If you don’t like deers, you probably shouldn’t look at the label of our Caol Ila bottling, because it’s got bloomin’ loads of them on it, charging across from the Isle of Jura to Caol Ila with Prince Vultan leading the proceedings.
