Waubs Harbour Great Southern Reef Tasmanian Maritime Single Malt Whisky (500ml)
Volume: 500ml ABV: 43% Age: No Age Statement Country: Australia
The Waubs Harbour Distillery, which is situated in Bicheno on the far east coast of Tasmania, was once an old oyster hatchery. The distillery is set on the rocks with 5 salt laden bond rooms and a cooling system run entirely by the ocean.
The in house lab allows the distillery to experiment with culturing their own yeasts to create particular flavour profiles to pair perfectly with selected casks. Each element of the distillation process, from making their own wash, to the shape of their custom designed stills, to the sensory driven cut points in their spirit, has an effect on the whisky and has been designed to create a spirit that is identifiably Waubs Harbour.
Head Distiller Rob Polmear has a vast amount of experience from his time as Head Distiller at Overeem whisky and Head Of Production at Lark Distillery.
This maritime single malt whisky is a Limited Release in support of the Great Southern Reef Foundation. Made, matured & bottled at Waubs Harbour Distillery on the east coast of Tasmania, just metres from the ocean and covered in salty air. This Limited Release of only 591 bottles was matured in ex-Apera Sherry casks and finished in 40 year old ex-Tawny Port casks from Murray Street, bringing a lovely salted caramel backbone, enhanced by the Apera stewed fruits, with a complexity and depth that only an aged fortified can provide. Bottled at 43% Alc/Vol and never to be repeated. Available in Australia only.
The Great Southern Reef Foundation are an incredibly passionate team who are raising awareness and stewardship of the interconnected system of reef that stretches around southern Australia and Tasmania and partner with local organisations to fight against the impact of climate change.
