Whisky Gone A Rye #2 is a special edition of our Rye Malt Whisky matured in Australian apera casks and the sixteenth release in our Trials & Exceptions series. The Australian apera casks used to age this spirit were destined for maturing our Single Malt Whisky; but by happy accident; the 100 and 200-litre casks were instead filled with Rye Malt Whisky not once but three times. After the success of Whisky Gone A Rye #1; which was released in November 2021; we’re excited to share with you the second batch of this unique and limited whisky style.
This rich and complex Rye Malt Whisky is imbued with the flavours of high-quality Australian fortified wine in a way usually reserved for single malt; vs the tradition of maturing rye whisky in new American oak casks. This whisky therefore continues our tradition of marrying quality NSW grains with the rich; deep; fruit flavours of local apera casks.
Whisky Gone A Rye #2 displays enticing notes of honey-poached peaches; candied figs; vanilla crème brulée; sweet baking spices and lingering oak.
