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 expressions and labelling.

The Furneaux Distillery Co. ‘Sawyers Bay’ offering pays tribute to Sawyers Bay, the home of Furneaux Farm and the bond store where this unpeated single malt once rested on railway beams laid across an earthen floor. It’s there where the full force of the westerly-winds whip across the land and sea giving the old casks character and depth.

All Furneaux OB whisky expressions are now bottled at 700ml instead of their indie 500ml bottlings with this ‘Sawyers Bay’ reaching maturation in Ex-bourbon casks – not to be confused with the ‘Sawyers Bay’ double-oak bourbon and tawny cask expression that we also have available HERE.

The distillery comments on this expression;
This one is a lovely light unpeated release, the first of its kind from us as an unpeated ex-bourbon cask. It was from the first batch of unpeated new make distilled on island after we commissioned our stills in 2019, and was sitting in 5 x 20L American oak ex ‘Four Roses’ bourbon casks from Tasmanian cask company.
