Description:
Here’s another pearler from Bakery Hill who continue to be one of the most consistent whisky distilleries in Australia. With their new location in Kensington Victoria, the distillery does all their milling, brewing and distilling in house before maturing their peated spirit in an American Oak ex-Tennessee whiskey barrel from Jack Daniels for up to 8 years.

The Distillery comments;
“Our Peated Single Malt attracts both peated whisky lovers as well as those previously averse to the heavier smokier elements of single malts. In our Peated expression, rather than overpowering the malt with smoke, the peat acts as a complimentary flavour to the sweet, floral and fresh notes of the spirit. Something to savour and enjoy.

The malted barley is “peated” in northern Scotland and exhibits a more “Highland” style peat, which produces an “earthier” rounded peat smoke with minimal “medicinal/iodine” notes. We have deliberately kept the peating level to a low/medium amount to ensure balance and to encourage the other sweeter flavour profiles to shine through”.
