Tasting Notes

Colour

Dark golden.

Nose

Rich and inviting.
Elegant peat smoke integrates seamlessly with notes of dark chocolate, toasted oak, and dried apricot.

Taste

Full-bodied and complex.
Sweet, fortified wine influences deliver flavours of honeyed stone fruits and sultanas, balanced by earthy peat smoke and gentle spice while the oily texture remains smooth throughout.

Finish

Long and persistent.
Lingering notes of dried fruit, dark chocolate, and oak spice gradually give way to warming peat embers, leaving a gentle smoky impression.

Description

Our fifth Winter Solstice release celebrates the shortest day of the year and the beauty of the Tasmanian winter. Crafted in honour of the solstice, this limited release captures the essence of long, dark nights and deepening cold through a bold and warming peated single malt.

Matured in a combination of Topaque and Tawny casks, Winter Solstice 5 brings together rich fortified wine character and the distinctive peat smoke that has become a hallmark of the series. Layers of dried fruit, dark chocolate and gentle spice lead to a long, smoky finish, creating the perfect dram to enjoy beside a bonfire or at a festive winter gathering.
