Official tasting notes.
The whisky presents a nose of vanilla pod, toffee ice cream and red fruits, complemented by discreet notes of dark chocolate. These flavours are repeated on the palate, showcasing a bold mix of dark chocolate, coffee, toffee, and vanilla mixed with wonderful bursting ripe red fruits. These two casks pot still spice is beautifully expressed across the mid palate and the now well known “Transportation” long finish just keeps going and going giving more and more

John Halton comments.
“I named this one after my great, great grandfather from Ireland who was one of the pioneers of a little town called Cygnet in southern Tasmania. He was born in Tipperary, married in Cork and then ended up in Australia working on the railroad in Victoria before moving to Van Diemen’s Land where his brother Dennis was. The photo on the bottle is of his son also named Martin Brereton and his family including my nanny and one of the little boys is my uncle. This is an incredible whiskey and a fine tribute to one of my ancestors”.
