Description

Our Seventh release of Black Label Somerset Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky was produced from a super heavily spirit that has been matured in a heavily toasted and charred 50L American oak ex-bourbon cask.

Bottled at 56.3% – exactly how it came out of the cask this whisky is rich, robust and driven by smoke, caramel, and subtle influences of white peach, and green apple that linger from the nose through to the back of the palate.  A gentle salty influence from the fresh ocean breeze of the Bass Strait blends confidently with the vanilla and oak character of the American oak cask it was matured in.  It highlights the sheer depth and volume of flavour that can be derived from unadulterated peat, malt and oak when they work together.

Once again the angels have hit us pretty hard with this one and there are very limited bottles in this release.  As with all of our black label whiskies this release comes with a full document of provenance detailing every step of the whiskies production from brewing to maturation.

If you’ve read our blog about producing our first release of single malt whisky (click here if you haven’t) you’ll know that as much as a whisky can do it told the story of how we got to where we are today.  We think this whisky is a perfect continuation of that story, and a great example of what not following the crowd can bring to the table.
