Description:
There’s no typo in our title, this whisky weighs in at a tub thumping 73.6% alc – It’s absolutely huge and not for the faint hearted, it’s Peter Bignell (owner and distiller at Belgrove distillery), throwing sanity to the wind by bottling this beast exclusively for his cellar door and Canberra’s Whisky Capital event that took place in March 2025. It’s another abstract release that is destined to be quite collectable.

With a yield of only 70 bottles, the whisky was aged for nine and a half years in a single, 100L ex-Port cask that was first filled with Overeem whisky. It’s the highest ABV Tasmanian whisky ever released, entering the vessel at 59% alc and reaching 73.6% at the time of bottling, through natural evaporation of water, rather than alcohol.

Not available anywhere else online, the gents sent a handful of bottles our way for our loyal, Belgrove customers to enjoy as well. Strictly limited to one per customer. Our only advice is to light your cigar a few meters away from this dynamite pour, best to show some prudence around a liquid of this ABV. 😉
