Description:
Cut Hill’s initial release program will comprise of multiple, (IB) private cask bottlings while they patiently wait for their newly produced spirit to mature. All the barrels for their ‘Private Barrel Series’ have been maturing at their facility for a number of years, individually benchmarked and thoughtfully vatted together by Cut Hill’s head distiller. Each expression showcases the diversity and quality that Australian wine, fortified and mead casks have to offer.

The Distillery comments;
“A truly unique whisky expression. Making wine from honey was first introduced to Australia by Ken Maxell of Maxwell Wines in the 1960’s. His devotion to the ancient craft created the benchmark for modern mead-making around the world and allows us to source these distinctive barrels directly from the winery today”.
