Celebrate World Whisky Day with two made right here in Canberra! We’re so thrilled to have added dark spirits to our collection and we hope you will enjoy them on this cold weekend. Aged on the banks of Lake George in an old machinery shed, these whiskies are real local spirits.
Old George Reserve Whisky, 500 ML
Our Old George Reserve is aged in ex Pedro Ximinez casks with beautiful spiced plum aromas.
Bourbon Cask Whisky
Our Bourbon Cask, aged in ex Bourbon casks, offers mellow sweetness through oak and vanilla notes.
We recently entered our Old George Reserve Whisky in The American Distilling Institute's 2023 International Spirits Competition.
We are super excited to announce that it came away with a bronze medal!
MANDARIN OLD FASHIONED WITH HOT HONEY
One of last year’s foodie trends was hot honey – the spicy result of infusing warmed honey with fresh or dried chillies. Here it combines with the acidic sweetness of mandarin juice to create a special, wintery Old Fashioned, just in time for World Whisky Day. Try it with our Old George Reserve, made here in Canberra and aged just up the road in a shed by a lake… that isn’t always there.
