ABOUT THIS BOTTLING
The Tria Prima distillery is run by a Brit, and Boutique-y Whisky fan Paul Shand. Paul and his wife, Trang, founded the distillery in 2017 and only launched their whiskies in 2021.
Paul sold his whisky collection to fund the construction of his distillery, including a sizeable amount of TBWC bottles!
Our Tria Prima is the first independently bottled from them and it's a 2 Year Old Australian Single Malt Whisky (by Aus definition).
It’s been matured in an ex-Grant Burge, first fill Tawny cask. - Tawny is the name of Australian fortified wine, made in a very similar fashion to those bottles of tawny Port found in Portugal.
NOSE
Rich and fruity; Plum and Apricot with Dried fruits; sultanas, raisins, and peel. Sweet caramel toffee with a nuttiness coming through.
TASTE
Rich and mouth filling. Again, quite fruity,with figs and dried plums leading a high cocoa content dark chocolate. There’s a spicy savoury note too, Balsamic-BBQ sauce-like..
The finish is medium length with fruit and nut chocolate, turning dry
ABOUT THE LABEL
Our label is a play on The Tria Prima,. The three primary qualities of alchemy, was held in high esteem by the greats of alchemy and key to the secret of the Philosopher’s Stone. So their distillery name represents the three elements of whisky alchemy - ‘barley, water and wood’. That’s Paul as a wizard on our label, conjuring up a diagram of a water cycle.
Our deadly animal is the Blue Ringed Octopus one of the world's most venomous marine animals. No blue-ringed octopus antivenom is available!
