It is at this point that alcohol is produced. The process takes approximately two days, at which point the wash is distilled twice - first in the wash still to separate the alcohol from the water, and second in our 500L Spirit to distill and collect the high alcohol content liquid.

A myriad of factors can influence the final product’s impact, taste, smell, and quality – from the type of wood the cask is made of, what it previously held, and how long the whisky was kept sealed to age. With the right combination of all these factors, they can make whisky truly special and even drive up its rarity and price. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOur single malt Australian whisky is primarily aged in oak casks carefully selected from Australia’s finest fortified producers, contributing to the signature house style of citrus on butterscotch found in our single malt whiskies. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBut as Australia’s leading whisky distiller, we believe in thinking outside the barrel and trying new things.
