The fifth instalment in our annual Winter Solstice series celebrates the shortest day and longest night of the year
Inspired by the beauty of the Tasmanian winter, Winter Solstice 5 is crafted using peated malt and matured in a combination of ex-Topaque and ex-Tawny casks.
This limited-edition release brings together rich fortified wine influence and warming peat smoke, resulting in a bold and expressive Tasmanian single malt with depth, balance and character.
A whisky made for winter
Inviting and complex, Winter Solstice 5 opens with notes of dark chocolate, toasted oak and dried apricot. Layers of honeyed stone fruits, sultanas and gentle spice unfold across the palate, balanced by earthy peat smoke and a long warming finish.
Bottled at 48% ABV and limited to just 210 bottles, this special release is available now online and at Hangar 17.
Whether enjoyed with friends over a winter meal or added to a growing collection, Winter Solstice 5 is a fitting tribute to Tasmania’s longest night.
