Waubs Harbour Rusted Casks – 500ml

“Maritime Tasmanian single malt whisky made our way” is their mission statement, and Waubs Harbour has deployed Mission: Impossible with this limited edition Club exclusive to make their most coastal maturation yet.

Introducing Waubs Harbour Rusted Casks, Created Exclusively for The Whisky Club.

With coastal vibes akin to Glen Scotia or Old Pulteney, this delicious malt is full of unique character and punching well above its weight category.

“This whisky already had kitchen spice and stewed fruits that work so well with our coastal character,” says Waubs Head Distiller Rob Polmear, “and just to amp it up, we wanted to get it as close to the ocean as possible and see what that environment did — so we put it in our most extreme bond store conditions.”

Matured in some of their richest aged Apera Sherry French oak before a final maturation in toasted ex-Bourbon American oak casks mere feet above the ocean (which has never been done before), expect waves of stewed apricots, salted caramel sauce with a hint of orange zest and rounded out with richly spiced oak. The finish is full of syrupy poached pear, burnt brown sugar and crème fraîche, with the whisky’s oiliness is kept intact thanks to non-chill filtration and 52% ABV, while it’s rocking a natural searing bronze colour.

“You get the salt and caramel at the end that comes through together,” says Rob. “The salt cuts through the sweetness so you can amp up flavour intensity without going overly sweet.”

This unique maritime Aussie whisky is yet another Club Member one-off with the kind of quality and implicit value that you’ve come to expect from The Whisky Club, your home of Australian whisky.

With only two casks made, numbers were seriously limited.
