Bottling Notes

This is the 2nd collaboration bottling that once again brings two of very best Australian mainland whisky distilleries together to produce an Aussie masterpiece. It’s a pairing of barrels, one Apera cask filled with peated new make distilled and matured at Black Gate Distillery in Mendooran NSW, the other a Tawny cask filled with peated new make distilled and matured at the Fleurieu Distillery in SA.

In early 2020 these two casks were brought together at the Fleurieu Distillery. Here with diligence and respect to their individual character they were carefully put through the process of being blended, rested, adjusted to 48% alc/volume, and given the working title of “The BFG” (Black Fleurieu Gate). After further maturation, this beautifully integrated whisky was then bottled with a yield of 300 bottles.

Whether you are in the country or on the coast, or anywhere in between, this ground-breaking release is a celebration of coming together after unprecedented times.
