Heartwood None Of The Above Cask Strength Vatted Malt Whisky 62% ABV 500ml

This 62% ABV, 500ml cask strength vatted malt pulls together spirit from Old Kempton, Adams and Fanny’s Bay, all matured in a mash-up of virgin oak, peated second-fill and sherry casks, then bottled in July 2021 with only 202 individually numbered bottles in existence.

In the glass, the style that judges rave about is all here: a “delightful” nose, extremely rich and very balanced palate, and a rich, smooth finish – the profile that helped it take Category Winner – Australian Blended Malt (12 Years & Under) at the World Whiskies Awards 2022.

Big Tasmanian character, three distilleries, three cask types, 62% ABV and a label that refuses to be put in a box.

Heartwood None Of The Above – virgin oak, peat, sherry… and absolutely none of the usual compromises.
