Heartwood The Beagle 10 is evolution in a bottle – a pandemic-era Beagle that trades test tubes for tasting glasses and comes out swinging at full cask strength.
Evolved from nine casks across six Tasmanian distilleries, this vatted malt pulls together an insane spread of wood: sherry, apera, tawny, muscat, tokay, bourbon and peated casks, all married and bottled in August 2021 at a brawny 60.2% ABV in 500ml format. Only 204 individually numbered bottles exist.
The label riffs on Darwin again, charting human “evolution” through social distancing, vaccines and finally freedom – and the whisky follows suit: layered fortified sweetness, bright spice, a thread of smoke and a long, rolling finish built to erase any lingering memory of lockdown life.
Heartwood The Beagle 10 – nine casks, six distilleries, one very evolved Tasmanian beast.
