Description
We’re thrilled to announce that one of our favourite Aussie distilleries has now released their very-own original bottlings of Single Malt whisky with newly designed bottles and labelling. This bourbon-cask matured beauty is defined by its raw, untouched surroundings. Peat foraged from eastern lagoons on Flinders Island, rainwater collected from the stillhouse roof and barrels lined up on an earthen floor in their coastal bond store hidden on the Furneaux farm.
All Furneaux OB whisky expressions are now bottled at 700ml instead of their indie 500ml bottlings with ‘Flinders Island’ laid to rest in Heaven Hill ex-bourbon casks.
Notes from Furneaux press release;
“2022 is a very exciting year for us at Furneaux Distillery. As you may know, we have been distilling full time since we commissioned our own stills on Flinders Island in September 2019. To this point, we have been releasing our Untamed Gin, Pristine Vodka, and Single Malt Whisky, the whisky having been distilled from 2017 at Launceston Distillery. Many thanks go to Chris Condon and Chris Byrne for their help in getting us set up with our first few batches of spirit while our stills were being built and shipped to the island. However, our first batch of spirit distilled in our own stillhouse from 2019 is now mature”
Official tasting notes:
A remarkable drop, all about the fudge. It’s one of those bourbon cask releases where you’ve just hit gold in the timber. Heavens Hill supplied these bourbon barrels which can mean a number of different bourbon producers, however, it’s all about the richer, caramel notes and its soft and subtle earthy, peat finish.
