Description:
Here’s Transportation whiskey’s 3rd standard strength release in their ‘Band Series’ series that pays tribute to ‘Medusa’s Wake’, a 6-piece Celtic Folk band from Sydney who are described as a love child of The Pogues and Australia’s own Roaring Jack.

This whiskey is a beautiful example of Single Pot Still Whiskey having started in a 125 litre PX Sherry cask from Spain then after a couple of years being transferred into two second fill bourbon 60 litre casks for a further year and a half finish. Non-chill-filtered, the whiskey is bottled in its natural state with no added colouring. And with a yield of only 82 bottles, we have some of the last remaining stock available for sale.

What is Single Pot Still Whiskey?
