Distiller Tom Ambroz comments;
“This spirit batch was the first of our distillations on Flinders Island in our own stills. It was a Flinders Peated run also, which meant the spirit had been smoked with coastal maritime Tasmanian peat. It gave us the delicious and celebrated FPB1, our first Island distilled release, and the spirit is incredible. Having the opportunity to taste it in a more bare-bones format is a great joy.”
