American Oak (Pinot Barrel) Whisky

DISTILLATION PROCESS

Our whisky is crafted with Blue Mountains (NSW) spring water, renowned for its high pH and zinc content. The locally brewed beer wort is fermented in-house for quality control, then double-distilled in a copper pot still. To ensure smoothness, the distillate is gravity-fed through columns filled with silver and walnut shell charcoal.

The whisky develops its character by ageing in hand-selected American Oak barrels for a minimum of 8 years. The result is a whisky with a truly one-of-a-kind taste, a delicate earthy aroma, and a lingering finish that leaves you wanting more.
