The result? A superb Double Cask Limited Edition exclusive to the Club.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe met up with Head Distiller Chris Condon for a deep dive into the Launceston Distillery bondstore and emerged triumphantly, creating this delicious, balanced Tasmanian single malt that embodies the historic whisky revolution currently afoot right here on our doorstep, or as Chris put it “a true celebration and manifestation of the art of distilling”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrewing at Tassie beer institution Boag’s Distillery for years, Chris is no stranger to crafting Tasmanian icons. Using only locally sourced ingredients, he's matured Launceston Distillery’s clean, fruity spirit in ex-Tawny casks and a touch of ex-Bourbon to create a decadently delightful drinking experience from the distillery that sits proudly in the heart of Tasmania.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis release is bigger than anything the distillery has released before. So big in fact, that before it was decanted, a new marrying tun had to be bought to be able to accommodate all the liquid. Our selection of ex-Tawny and ex-Bourbon casks were left to settle while Chris expertly blended the parts together, finishing with a distinctly Tawny dominant marriage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCountless samples were tested, and we all agreed 54.9% was where the whisky popped and really opened up, showcasing Launceston at its best. With their clean fruity spirit combined with ex-Tawny casks balanced by just the right amount of ex-Bourbon casks, this whisky brings sticky toffee apple and raspberries on the nose, a luscious palate of chewy toffee, figs and peanut brittle, and a long, velvety finish of candied citrus and toasted oak. This is pure, malty bliss from the Whisky Isle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis really is a sublime malt masterpiece from a jewel of the Tasmanian distilling scene. Our last Launceston Distillery release sold out in next to no time, so be quick to avoid disappointment: \u003ca href=\"#\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSign Up Free\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e now to Add In a bottle this September.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBottle size: 500ml\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OCeKdpvzmZ4\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Launceston Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46489941114959,"sku":"WC0213","price":185.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/1185\/7487\/files\/launcestondistillerscut_pdp_main.png?v=1787701195","url":"https:\/\/thewhiskyclub.com.au\/products\/launceston-distillery-distillers-cut-double-cask","provider":"The Whisky Club AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
