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.

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 ‘Sawyers Bay’ laid to rest in double oak bourbon and tawny 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”
