Tasman Whisky Special Edition Bourbon Cask

A single cask bourbon matured Tasman Whisky from Ironhouse Brewery. The Tasman Whisky Special Edition Bourbon Cask, a superb whisky set down in September 2015 in an ex-Maker Mark Bourbon barrel.  Made from Tasmanian barley and aged with maritime influence adjacent McIntyre’s Beach on the East Coast of Tasmania.

This is a fantastic single cask whisky, made with 100% Tasmanian malt and aged on the windswept coast of Tasmania. The sea mist adds a subtle salty note to an otherwise sweet and fruity whisky resulting in a complex and multi-layered taste experience.

You can also match it with the Ironhouse Porter Beer that has been aged for 3 months in the same cask (once the whisky came out of course). Yes, you heard right. A perfectly matched Boilermaker.  A matched pair.  A beer and a shot with the same DNA. A dynamic duo of distilled delight. And is it a first? We think so! We’ve certainly heard of some whisky cask-aged craft beers around the traps – but we’ve never heard of anyone offering a cask-matched whisky and beer combination, ever!

The Tasman Whisky Special Edition Bourbon Cask is only available through The Single Malt Whisky Club.

Our Tasting Notes

Colour: Lovely bright gold

Nose: Sweet and malty like honey slathered weetbix. Lots dried fruit, sweet vanilla and spices – particularly cinnamon.

Palate: Coats the mouth instantly with a luxurious, warm hug. More sultanas and raisins, cherry-ripe and vanilla over a backdrop of rich oak.

Finish: Warming, long and fruity. Those dried fruit flavours play out until the very last!
