Our Tasting Notes
All the flavours of the standard-strength release are turned up to 11!
Aromas of creamy vanilla and ripe stone fruit open things up, woven through with muscat grape florals and a gentle kick of ginger spice. On the palate, a rich, oily texture carries fruit custard and brown sugar, while the unmalted barley delivers a warming rustic spice alongside dried vine fruits. The finish is long and lingering with the muscat’s sweetness refusing to let go, with spice trailing right to the end.

Description:
Transportation Whiskey is back – and it’s made one hell of an entrance
The fourth cask strength instalment of Transportation Whiskey’s celebrated Band Series arrives in extraordinary fashion. The release brings together ex-bourbon casks and specially selected muscat casks. And the result is a cask strength union of real Irish/Australian excellence.
What’s in the Glass?
At natural cask strength, the flavours from the standard strength are amplified in perfect harmony. Expect a creamy, oily, full-textured spirit with length that just doesn’t quit. The mash bill and maturation have conspired to create something with serious body, depth, and real character.
The team at Transportation Whiskey called it unanimously: their finest whiskey to date!
Band Series #4 – The Bottle Itself
The band connection: The Dropkick Murphys are a Boston-based Celtic punk band. A fitting pairing given the Irish heritage of both the whiskey style and the band’s sound. It’s a clever thematic crossover.
What is Single Pot Still Whiskey?
Single pot still is a distinctly Irish style of whiskey with a strict legal definition. To carry the name, it must be:
• Distilled at a single distillery in a pot still
• Made from a mash bill of at least 30% malted barley
• Made from at least 30% unmalted (raw) barley
• With a maximum of 30% other grains
This grain combination gives single pot still whiskeys their signature oily texture and spicy backbone. Characteristics you’ll find in abundance in the Dropkick Murphy release.
