Bakery Hill is the oldest Australian whisky distillery on the mainland. Based out of Victoria, this family owned business has been making some of the best Aussie whisky for over 20 years.
We have been working on something very special for our next exclusive bottling with David and Andrew Baker, the father son duo distillers of Bakery Hill. We've collaborated together, taking their award winning, long time Bakery Hill favourite – the Double Wood and added an extra kick in for whisky lovers. Introducing the Bakery Hill Peated Double Wood, a smoky, vibrant and exquisitely rich. Bottled at cast strength at 58% ABV, limited to 100 bottles.
Matured in American Oak for 5 years followed by a 6 month finish in a 50L French Oak barrel, this whisky is dangerously easy to sip at cask strength.
Tasting Notes
The first thing you should know about Bakery Hill is their whisky is all about consistency, balance, and a focus on a flavour profile more akin to a "highland" Scotch style of whisky, then a lot of other Aussie whiskies. They've been distilling whisky the longest on Australia's mainland, over 20 years, and in that time have truly perfected their craft.
Nose: A rich, vibrant peat aroma, with a natural earthiness with overtones of spring florals and fresh citrus and berries. Sweet but not sickly.
Palate: The palate reveals a tobacco leaf earthiness with layer upon layer of complex smoky peat that lingers on the lips and palette demanding just one more sip. Orange marmalade, dark berry jam and a rich nougat sweetness, rounded with balance oak influences.
Finish: Astonishingly long and complex, an exotic mix of experiences."
