Description

Our Ninth release of Black Label Somerset Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky was produced from a medium spirit produced from exclusively heavily peated UK malt and matured in a 50L American oak ex-Bourbon cask for just over 4 years.

Bottled at 53.3% – this whisky is bold, rich, and honest.  Up front subtle fermentation driven fruity characteristics fade into a blend of caramel and vanilla which hold up the tent poles until the peat takes over to provide a rich earthy finish.  This whisky really does well with a couple of drops of water to open up the character and nuance of the malt and cask.

Keeping with recent trends the angels have hit us pretty hard and taken more than their fair share of this release with this one and there are 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.
