One little 20 ltr Launceston Distillery cask.

This little cask was a lot different from our usual peated batches, made using entirely Flinders Island Peat and Tasmanian Barley Chris didn’t know what to do with it at the time so into the dark depths of the bond store it went. There it sat until a few years later Chris happened upon this little cask (XX-761).

Tasting this little cask he was astonished by the difference to our usual peated release. Less fruity on the nose with a distinct lemon ash presenting itself. On the palate the whisky jumps out with slightly medicinal characteristics and seas salt flavours throughout. The finish rounds out nicely presenting a marzipan sweetness right at the back of the tongue.

With the cold setting in and the winter taking hold the best time of the year to drink a bold peated whisky is now, in the midst of the Winter Solstice.

Bottled at a hearty 49.8% ABV this unique whisky will never happen again. A once off cask that yielded only 36 bottles.

500mL bottle

This elegant whisky was matured in 2 ex-South Australian Apera casks (Cask 006 and 007) that were previously used to age apera fortified wine (Australian style sherry) for a minimum of 5 years and 10 months. These 2 casks were bought together and allowed to marry for 2 months before being bottled at 46%, our standard ABV strength.

This full flavoured whisky was double distilled and is non-chill filtered to retain depth of character.

The Return of the great one. Unavailable since September 2021 the Cask Strength Tawny has returned with vengeance. This indulgent single malt whisky was matured for 5 years and 7 months (making this our oldest whisky ever) in one 100ltr American oak tawny cask,

This cask was identified as one that did everything right (only the second time ever) and it was picked by Chris as being good enough to be a single cask.

One drop of this on the lips and you will know you are tasting the pinnacle of Launceston Distillery single malt.
