Smoked Heritage Rye Malt Whisky
About
As our fourteenth Trials & Exceptions release, Smoked Heritage Rye Malt Whisky uses NSW heritage rye grain, a regenerative crop that uses little water and helps revive depleted soil, along with native timber for smoking instead of imported Scottish peat.
It balances sweetness, smoke and rye spice with flavours of campfire, grilled peaches and prosciutto. Serve it as is, over ice or neat. But, if you are feeling fancy, make sure to try it in a smoky Whisky Sour or Manhattan.

Fruit and caramel transition through to oak and spice, with caraway and allspice intermingling with campfire smoke for a long, complex finish.
Local & Ethically Sourced Ingredients
As the latest expression in our quest to craft quintessentially Australian whiskies, Smoked Heritage Rye Malt Whisky uses both uniquely Australian grains and native timber for smoking.
By choosing the deeply evocative flavour of Australian wood smoke over imported Scottish peat along with locally grown heritage rye grain grown in NSW, a regenerative crop that uses little water and helps revive depleted soil, it also supports our sustainability goals.
Our pale malt speaks to the Australian land where it was grown, delivering tropical fruit flavours with floral overtones.
Virgin American Oak is renowned for imparting high levels of vanilla, sweet spices and coconut. The oak in these casks is air-dried then toasted and charred for us to help create our signature flavour profile.
Virgin French Oak is best known for having more available extractives and imparting a higher level of spice (think nutmeg or allspice) and also wood polish. Generally we toast these barrels but don't char them.
