Distiller’s Comments: “I love new-make spirit - it’s a window into a distillery’s whisky making process; the very DNA of what will one day become a mature whisky. Here, our choice of heritage barley, combined with floor-malting, long fermentation and slow distillation brings out the absolute best from the grain. Tropical fruit notes are layered over a deeply satisfying, malty foundation - creating a vibrant, delicious spirit that transports me back to my first sip of Tasmanian new-make.” - Abbie Jaume, Head Distiller
