Description:
Here’s the second release in Craft Works distillery’s new ‘Ages’ indie series. The Distillery tells us the name ‘Rebel’ came about because “….it was one of the most challenging whiskies to date and at one stage we decided to re-cask it as it was such a slow burn to mature however we applied some wine making barrel techniques and what a stunner it has become, such a rebel.”

Laid to rest for just over 6 peaceful years in an ex-Western Australian Red-Wine, American Oak cask that was second filled as a Rum cask, owner and distiller Craig Crafty Field comments that; “It’s a very special cask as it was acquired from, Raymond ‘Spike’ Dessert III, founder of Hoochery Distillery in Kununurra WA. Spike was one of the original, modern day Aussie Craft Distillers. A true Rebel. I have a very personal connection this cask”.

Available in limited quantities.
