The Old Kempton Whisky Showcase Gift Set includes a 50ml bottle each of their Old Stables Single Malt Whisky, Classic Pinot and Coachhouse, as well as an Old Kempton branded Wee Glen Cairn glass.
The Old Stables Single Malt Whisky was recently named “Best Australian Small Batch Single Malt Whisky” at the 2022 World Whisky Awards. Like all Whiskies at this distillery, the wash is double-distilled in squat Knapp Lewer copper pot stills made in Hobart. The spirit was then aged for five to six years before blending and bottling in a combination of ex-Australian Tawny (around 60%) and Apera casks (20%), with the balance composed of Pinot Noir, Bourbon and a small proportion of fortified Shiraz. It's a rich and powerful Whisky with lovely intensity and balance.
The Classic Pinot Single Malt was matured in casks from Frogmore Creek and Stefano Lubiana. The base is similar to the other bottlings: 100% Tasmanian barley wash, double-distilled in copper pot stills. Considered a difficult style to master, Tyson pulls it off with aplomb. It’s a vibrant and viscous Whisky, fruity with lingering charry depth.
The Coachhouse is the linchpin of the Old Kempton range, blended to represent the house style, from casks especially chosen as having richer flavours and a more robust back palate. It is also bottled at cask strength for intensity and body. The spirit is aged for five to six years in a mix of Pinot Noir, Sherry, Port and Tokaji casks. It’s a deep, layered, detailed Whisky, full-bodied and complex with a lasting close.
