Our latest limited release is an outstanding whisky literally steeped in uniquely Australian character. Heritage Red Gum Cask Single Malt Whisky has been matured in a cask made from Australian native red gum and used to mature apera fortified wine for many decades.

Our Head Distiller Dave Withers has a personal connection to these casks through his father’s stories. “I have a clear memory of my dad passing on stories he heard about fortified wine barrels being made from native eucalyptus timbers in the 1930s. Many years later, I heard from one of our coopers about a small parcel of wine casks that had an oddly red colour to the timber. I called my dad right away and told him what I had discovered. ‘Wow,’ he said. ‘That’s a piece of Australian history. Get those casks!”

Now after more than four years of maturation, these casks are tasting an absolute treat. With notes of incense and bush honey and a restrained elegance both satisfying and assertive. As part of our ongoing mission to create truly Australian whiskies, we can’t wait to share this rare single malt with you.
