We can pretty much guarantee that 36 Short are going to be the next BIG thing out of South Australia in whisky! With a custom built still, distinctive aging process and using 100% South Australian barley their full-bodied whiskies have an incredible depth of flavour that just must be tasted.
Welcome to the “bourbon-bomb” that is the very essence of South Australian premium single malts (at a price that is simply stunning for a 700ml single malt) – The 36 Short SMWC Edition!
The 36 Short SMWC Edition was aged in shaved and toasted American oak barrels, then further rested in bourbon barrels, it delivers unrivalled complexity and depth. Enjoy the smooth fruity notes, complemented by hints of pecan nut and vanilla flavours. With a delightful lightweight texture and a well-rounded palate, this whisky is an exceptional indulgence.
Bottled exclusively for the SMWC in 700ml bottles at 40%abv and at the discounted price of $105.
36 Short is one of those distilleries that just seem to fly ‘under the radar’ a bit and this month we hope to do something about that. Named in honour of their dad – Pando’s – suit size, the distillery has been out turning award winning spirits since 2016. Their rakija and gins are gold medal winning and we think their whisky isn’t going to be far behind.
36 Short Whisky is a true testament to local quality, made using 100% locally sourced S.A. malted barley. Each batch undergoes a two-week fermentation process, allowing the wash to fully develop its rich, distinctive character. The result is a whisky with a depth of flavour that reflects the essence of the region, offering an authentic and memorable tasting experience.
36 Short use a custom-made, 1200L copper pot still named “Pando” for distilling its spirits. This still is integral to our production process, providing a hybrid distillation approach that enhances the flavour and character of our range. Specifically, “Pando” is used for our single malt whisky, crafted with Australian malted barley and aged in American oak and bourbon barrels to achieve a rich, complex profile. This still and the distinctive aging process give 36 Short’s spirits their unique South Australian essence and smooth, full-bodied taste.
Nose: Lovely nuttiness at first, but underlying that is sweet plums and a striking floral herbaceousness
Palate: Rather dry on the palate at first sip, but a subtle spicyness develops around sweet vanilla pods, jammy notes and candied citrus peel.
Finish: A lovely tame warmth escorts the sweet num-nums and those nutty notes re-appear towards the end. IN fact on second dram, nutty brickle notes seem to amplify in a surprising, yet very pleasant way!
This is light, easy dramming whisky at it’s finest. There’s no pretentiousness and no challenges here, just a dram that everyone at the party will love – yep, it’s that simple. Be careful with this one though – it will evaporate quickly after opening – it’s just that moorish!
