Bottling Notes

We’ve finally released the beast on our virtual shelves, the ‘Blak Soul Beast’ to be precise, which is the second, stand-alone independent bottling from Craig ‘Crafty’ Field, owner and operator of Craft Works Distillery in Capertee, NSW. It following the ‘Just Derek’ that’s also available in our portfolio.

For this bottling, Crafty sourced a 230 litre Barrique Vintage Port cask from a Mudgee wine-maker and had it reworked down to a deep char 100 Litre cask, a fitting vessel for his ‘Sydney-Distillery-sourced’ new-make spirit. The expression had already won a Silver Medal in the Non-Scotch category at the 2018 Independent Bottlers Challenge, before it was officially released. Now that’s one hell of an accolade in our books.

Crafty named the Whisky ‘BLAK SOUL BEAST’ because it’s dark as a black soul and was an absolute beast to manage during maturation. Keeping it in the family, his 8-year-old daughter designed the font and front label.

Please note: This is the version that was bottled specifically for bars and clubs so therefore is not numbered as you will note from the image of the back label.

Strictly one per person.
