ABOUT THIS AUSTRALIA SERIES BOTTLING
A Lip-smackingly delicious Ex-Sherry Cask single malt. Located on the Fleurieu peninsula, and run by ex-brewers Gareth and Angela. Fleurieu have had a meteoric rise to fame in the Australian whisky scene, picking up a whole host of awards for their highly popular bottlings.
Fleurieu’s copper pot stills are modelled on those at Islay Distillery, Coal Ila. Fleurieu run a super long 8 day ferment, using brewers yeast. There’s often a noticeable salinity, and trademark Caol Ila meatyness to their whiskies.
Nose
Dark brown sugar, cocoa beans, toasted nuts and vanilla pods.
Palate
Sugar topped oatmeal, raisins, caramelised orange.
About the Label
Our label recreates a incident that actually happened. The distillery is an old train shed, and there are tracks running right through one of the tracks.
Today, casks sit on top of the old track.
The train line is now mostly disused, however a group of steam train enthusiasts occasionally operate a train on the line. Some years back they lost control and crashed it through the doors, into the distillery
