Description:
If you’re looking for old school Heartwood, ‘Four Corners of Ross’ is definitely for you.
Aged using spirit from Lark distillery and Tasmanian Distillery which is now known as Sullivan Cove, this particular bottling is very much sort after in the collector’s market.

Tim Duckett (Mr H) used 95% of Cask HH0174 that was distilled in 2000 for this expression meaning it could have been a 14-year-old whisky if not for the 5% of Cask LD0323 he used that was distilled in 2007. Australian law dictates the age of the whisky must be reflective of the youngest whisky used in the bottle hence the label describing the bottle as “could have been a 14-year-old Whisky’ when in fact, it’s a 7-year-old expression.

The story behind the label name is pure Heartwood
Chatting all things whisky with Tim earlier today, he reminded me of the inspiration behind the name of this whisky. It’s named after a historic town called Ross, situated in the Midlands of the state of Tasmania where there’s a hotel, a civic centre, a jail and a Catholic church. So, in Tim’s own words…… “Temptation – Creation – Damnation and Salvation, very much like this whisky”

Please note: The front label has a thin vertical smudge line visible that was due to the bottles resting together in transit back in 2014
