This is the eighth release from the (independent bottling) liquid library of Dan Woolley’s extensive, global whisky adventures that was aged at Lord Byron Distillery in Byron Bay. From all around our great country of Australia, spirit has made its way on the highway to Byron Bay to age in the rarest, hand selected oak casks to mature into Highwayman single malt whisky
Batch #8 is the dark horse in the series and a real favourite amongst the Aussie whisky faithful. Two x 50 litre first-fill American oak ex Maker’s Mark bourbon casks were married together after 3+ years maturation and bottled at cask strength of 55.5%. Like Dan’s 7 earlier releases, each bottle is numbered and signed with handwritten details on the back label. Bottle necks are hand dipped in black wax and presented in a branded bottle bag.
Our Tasting notes.
Looking forward to cracking this whisky shortly as we’re huge fans of bourbon casks.
