An exclusive Distillers Cut 51% batch of Waubs' 'Original' coastal-matured single malt, made exclusively for Club Members in the interest of sharing great whisky.
Using the same ratio of 90% ex-bourbon casks and 10% Tawny barrels as the standard 43% version, the Distiller’s Cut turns the flavour intensity up in a celebration of salted caramel, sweet fruit, and vanilla spice.
Head Distiller Rob Polmeer says, “The salted caramel is intensified and the oils mask the ABV so it’s still delicious and easy drinking.”
Available exclusively to Club Members who refered a friend to The Club, we sent the Member and their mate a FREE 200ml bottle upon sign-up. Valued at $80 RRP, it wass the only way to get Waubs' first ever Distiller’s Cut edition.
Bottle size: 200ml

Waubs Harbour’s History
Waubs Harbour distillery was established in 2018 by Tim, Bec and Rob Polmear, as they set out to make a truly distinctive maritime whisky distillery.
With Rob’s experience as Lark’s Head of Production & Overeem’s Head Distiller, this distillery rocketed out of the gates with immediate success. Their first three releases each scored a Gold Medal or higher at the World Whisky Masters in 2023, while their Waubs Original brought home a Category Winner Gold for Small Batch Single Malt at the World Whiskies Awards 2024.
The distillery itself sits in an ex-oyster hatchery in Bicheno, on the wild east coast of Tasmania.
“We grew up here, and we live and breathe this oceanside distillery,” says Rob, “and it becomes a part of your lifestyle as well as your production.”
The premium craftsmanship and distinctive seaside character of Waubs has forged a natural cult following around the nation, with their limited editions selling out quickly and consistently
“Here you're really exposed to the wild Tasman seas, and very exposed to the salinity that we're after, which ends up making its way into the product and having an influence on the taste. That was really the reason we started Waubs Harbour.”
With coastal vibes akin to Glen Scotia or Old Pulteney, their delicious malt is full of unique character and punching well above its weight category.
With these early releases showing impressive oiliness and balance, we’re pegging Waubs Harbour as one to watch, and to buy their bottles on sight.
