Bakery Hill Caramelised Casks

Since being founded in 1999, Bakery Hill – Australia’s oldest operating mainland whisky distillery – have been masters of patient American oak maturation.

So when we got our pick of some of their oldest stocks, you know what we went looking for: the distillery’s only heavily toasted, uniquely caramelised American oak casks.

After 10 Aussie years of maturation (with a dash of 9-year-old stock married in for balance), these casks are a rich, chewy, expressive masterclass in AO maturation.

“Unreserved, unabashed. Vanillas, honeycomb, nougat, caramel” is the verdict of the distillery’s own Andrew Baker, and we couldn’t agree more – although we’d add “stonefruit galore” to the mix.

This unrepeatable dram is one of the best expressions we’ve tasted in 26 years of Bakery Hill, epitomising the best of the distillery’s inimitable combination of spirit and cask-driven richness, and it was created exclusively for The Whisky Club.

With just 550 bottles in this release, Members will have to jump on this one quickly to secure this future Hall of Fame bottle.
