Overview

The story of this spectacular whisky begins back in 2012, when a Belgian maltster offered David the chance to buy some Pilsen Malt, a type of malted barley rarely used for whisky.

Impressed by the samples, David developed custom milling and brewing techniques to showcase the malt’s distinctive character, intending to eventually create an extremely complex Double Wood. He initially matured the spirit in a 225L American oak ex-Jack Daniels cask and six years later transferred it to virgin French Oak for a further eleven months before bottling at his preferred cut of 55.25% ABV.

The result is spot on and exactly why Bakery Hill has endured as one of Australia’s best whisky distilleries; rich and tongue-coatingly full, this gentle, complex malt opens with butterscotch, green apples and bubblegum on the Nose, leading to peanut butter, dark chocolate, sweet raisins and vanilla on the Palate and Finishes long and full with malted milk and caramel.
