Description
This whisky began its life being filled by Damien and Chris at Launceston Distillery, then it was put into a shipping container and sent away on the high seas to Flinders Island, where it completed its maturation in two French oak ex-apera casks in the newly build Furneaux Distillery. The whisky was then decanted, diluted, bottled and sold by the then newly appointed Head Distiller, Tom Ambroz.

Tom comments;
“New on the island having just moved over that week, I was very eager to get decanting. Lucky for me there were some casks that had been down since April 2017, so I didn’t have to wait long. They were painfully small batches at only 2 x 20l casks each, but enough to start working on our inaugural releases and that’s how this inaugural independent bottling Apera whisky was born”
