Hunter Island is a Tasmanian Triple Distilled Pot Still Whisky crafted by Damian Mackey
LIMITED RELEASE OLOROSO CASK MATURED
Made by Damian Mackey and dubbed the ‘Black Mack’ by Mr Nick, this is a richly hued and dramatic sherry whisky which delivers wave after wave of flavour. Matured in first fill 30L Oloroso European Oak Casks.
Created from our signature mash bill of malted barley, raw barley and oats, triple distilled, and aged in heavily charred and toasted 30L European Oak Oloroso casks, our latest release is a genuine sherry bomb. Its marmalade nose is powerful and peppery, and the taste is of liquid fruitcake. We’ve cut it to 48% ABV.
Tasting Notes:
A true sherry monster. A flavour bomb of candied citrus and peppery spice. The deep dark appearance delivers just what the colour suggests: an astonishingly big whisky. Glorious stuff!
HUNTER ISLAND WHISKY
CREATED FROM A MIXED MASH BILL, HAS BEEN TRIPLE DISTILLED IN COPPER POT STILLS, AND AGED IN HAND-SELECTED OAK CASKS.
SINGLE POT STILL WHISKEY IS A CENTURIES-OLD IRISH CREATION, AND TODAY, IT’S ON THE WAY TO RECLAIMING ITS PLACE AS THE WORLD’S MOST-LOVED DARK SPIRIT.
HUNTER ISLAND TASMANIAN POT STILL WHISKY IS OUR TASMANIAN INTERPRETATION OF IRELAND’S SIGNATURE DRAM, AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE TASMANIA’S EXCELLENT INGREDIENTS.
Hunter Island has the smoothness wrought by triple distillation, but also a depth of character from the mixed mash bill.
It retains the rich, oily markers of great Tasmanian whiskies, thanks to the brewers’ barley that is widely used and grown here. Our aim is to combine everything that is great about Tasmanian Whisky with this classic Irish style.
Small Batch. Triple distilled and non chill filtered.
700ml | 48% ABV | Tasmania, Australia
