Something unique in the spirit of Christmas, Hobart Whisky Barrel Aged Tasmanian Cherry Liqueur, and Single Malt whisky finished in the very same cask.

The whisky started with a vatting of carefully selected casks suitable to finish, predominantly ex-Bourbon with a small portion of Pedro Ximinez. It was important to ensure we found mature stock that provided a nice balance of spirit and wood, complementing the sweetness provided by the cherry liqueur cask. Finished for three months, then resting, before being bottled in time for a festive season release.

This is a rich and sweet whisky, perfect alongside your Christmas feast, or a quiet dram to see out 2021.

A sweet fruit-driven nose with red apple, icing sugar dusted cherries, and candied lollies.
