Bourbon Maple, ex-Islay, and vintage Tawny casks
Enjoy our Winter Feast Limited Release single malt, aged in Bourbon Maple, ex-Islay, and vintage Tawny casks for a rich and complex flavour.
We're excited to introduce our Winter Feast 2024 Limited Release Whisky! As winter sets in, we've crafted something special for you to enjoy—a whisky that truly captures the magic of the season. This year's release carries on our tradition of maple cask maturation, a beloved theme since our first Winter Feast in 2019.
Celebrate the Winter Feast with our exclusive, limited edition Hobart Whisky. If you pick up a bottle before June 13th, we'll toss in a 200ml bottle of our brand-new Tasmanian Cherry Chocolate Liqueur for free!
This whisky has been aged for five and a half years in a Bourbon Maple cask, then combined with an ex-Islay whisky cask, and finished off in a vintage Tawny cask for that extra depth. This process gives it a rich profile with sweet maple notes and savoury smoky undertones. We've also added a touch of rum cask to bring even more sophistication to the blend.
From the first sip, you'll notice an inviting mix of dried fruits and rich toffee. On the palate, you'll find layers of dark chocolate, ripe plums, and a hint of cinnamon that create a warm, cosy feeling. The vintage Tawny cask adds complexity with hints of dried fruits, warming spice, and rich chocolate. The finish is long and elegant, with gentle oak and a delicate sweetness that lingers.
Celebrate the 2024 Winter Feast with this exclusive, limited edition Hobart Whisky. It's more than just a drink—it's a celebration of our passion for creating exceptional spirits that capture the essence of the season.
We're serving our new Tasmanian Cherry Chocolate Liqueur as a nitro-charged cocktail at the Winter Feast. Don’t miss out — grab your limited release whisky now and be one of the first to try our latest creation.

The journey continues with a luscious finish that lingers, offering a mesmerising interplay of sweetness, spice, and a touch of light pepper. It's a remarkable experience that leaves you wanting more.

Smoky Bacon Maple Syrup Cask
We’ve taken this year's release to an all new level!
Continuing with our maple theme from previous Winter Feasts, a finishing cask was left in the Boks Bacon smokehouse for a week where it was infused with sweet bacon smoke.
We filled this cask with natural maple syrup producing a barrel-aged maple syrup before finishing ex-bourbon mature single malt whisky for several months producing a smoky bacon maple syrup seasoned cask finished whisky.
Expressed at 55% abv.
Purchase the whisky, or add on a 200ml bottle of the maple syrup from the cask.
Due to the limited supply of maple syrup at this point we are unable to offer it separate to the whisky until we can confirm that everyone who has purchased a bottle of whisky has at least had the opportunity to grab the maple syrup as well.
