Amber Lane Silk Lane SMWC Edition

Are you ready to get your hands on the ‘little brother’ to the WORLD BEATING Amber Lane Silk Road? The very FIRST BATCH of the Amber Lane Silk Lane is all yours!

Silk Lane takes its production methodology from the Silk Road…Matured for over 5 years in three stages – initially, virgin American oak casks for 12 months prior to moving through two different ex-bourbon casks (Heaven Hill) for the next four and a bit years, for total of 5 years and two months in wood. This single cask release (and subsequent Silk Lane releases) has then been bought down to a very healthy 48%abv for bottling to soften the dram, slowly lowering its ABV to draw gentler characters for a creamy finish.

The end result is a whisky that is sugar and spice (and all things nice!) – expect notes of cinnamon, juicy oak, honey and vanilla, followed by spices, red frogs and citrus.

The original Silk Road smashed it both at home and abroad (Gold Medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, the Australian Distilled Spirits Awards and the Royal Australian Distilled Spirits Awards)!

Amber Lane is one of Australia’s most well respected and awarded distilleries. Since their launch in 2018, Amber Lane have been wowing Australia’s whisky-loving community as well as cementing Australia’s reputation as a producer of world beating whisky. There’s hardly a product on their website that doesn’t have at least a couple of medals associated with it!

A huge part of Amber Lanes success lies with their use of large-format casks only. You won’t find any 25 or 50L casks in the Amber Lane bond store. The other component of the ‘Amber Lane process’ is their use of the ‘Cognac tradition of aging’ – moving all of their maturations through multiple barrels, each beginning with an initial maturation in virgin oak.

We are absolutely stoked to be launching a new product for Amber Lane and the Single Malt Whisky Club are getting the very first batch all for us! Please welcome the Silk Lane Batch #1 SMWC Edition.

This is a new line for Amber Lane and we’ve been honoured to have the first batch all for ourselves – they’ve even put our logo on the label!
