Description:
From the Adelaide Hills Distillery comes this Australian whiskey under their 78 Degrees label, named after the boiling point of alcohol. Bottled at 44% ABV with a yield of 2,000 bottles, the distillery uses local South Australian barley of which a portion is unmalted barley. The ‘green’ barley is then complemented by six specialty malts, (Biscuit, Supernova, Redback, toffee, Crystal and Chocolate). The liquid is then distilled in a single-shot through their hybrid pot and column still, before been laid to rest in in 200 litre (ex-wine) American and French oak casks.

The Distillery comments:
“We wanted to create something different, something uniquely Australian. When we set out to create a whiskey, our drive was not to replicate but to innovate. Rather than study existing styles, we have worked on developing something different, something that reflected Australia, both in its modern form and its tens of thousands of years of history. It was through this desire to create a product with a uniquely Australian flavour, that we were driven to research and develop a whiskey that didn’t just replicate something that already existed, but carved out its own place in the market”.

Striving for full transparency, the Distillery has also included the Longitude and Latitude of the grain traceability location on the front label: -34°46’67.6”S // 138°48’31.4”E
