Whiskies aged at sea! The Iron House Maverick Muscat Finished on a Abalone fishing boat named ‘Maverick’ for 12 months on the high seas of The Tasman covering over 3280 nautical miles. The constant movement of the ocean churns the spirit with greater interaction with the wood, extreme temperature and barometric ranging creating a hyper ageing effect taking you on a sensory voyage like no other. So thanks to our mates at IronHouse Distillery in Tasmania – the blokes who make Tasman Whisky – we’ve got this amazing whisky and a story that will blow you away. This whisky has been sent away to sea to grow up! They are SO maritime, they have tattoos of anchors on their arms. Drams are so nautical you should refer to them as Skipper. We’re proud to present The Iron House Maverick Muscat. The Iron House Maverick Muscat cask spent 4 years in the Iron House Distillery bond-store next to the ocean. They were then loaded aboard the Tasmanian abalone boat ‘The Maverick’ and sent to sea for 12 months to grow up! In that 12 months they travelled 3280nm (about 6000km) in some of worlds most treacherous waters, endured 7 metre waves, 100km/h hurricane force winds, and barometric pressure ranging from 910 to 1040HPA – all these factors combining to create a ‘hyper-aging’ environment. -

A Summer Whisky for only $99 from one of Australia’s legendary, award-winning distilleries? Santa, Iniquity and the Single Malt Whisky Club deliver! The perfect whisky for a hot Aussie Christmas, the latest in the much applauded and awarded Tin Shed Distillery ‘Anomaly’ Series – the Iniquity Lazy Daze. The Lazy Daze is matured in a first fill Heavens Hill ex-bourbon cask (78%) – tweaked with some shiraz (15%), tawny (3.5%) and apera (3.5%) barrels. It has been bottled at 40%ABV in order to be easy to drink yet still pack a flavour wallop! It’s sweet and fruity with next to no heat on the palate yet packs a big chewy finish. Even though it’s only packing 40%ABV, this whisky is definitely no lightweight. It’s got huge depth of flavour, big mouthfeel and …oh, did we mention it’s under a hundred bucks… in a 700ml bottle?!?!? -
Let’s FIRKIN get our whisky on! The RELEASE of not any FIRKIN WHISKY…A LINKWOOD…one of the rarest of the rare with only 1-2% ever being released as a SINGLE MALT – The Firkin Ten Linkwood 2010! The ‘Firkin Ten’ label denotes a spirit aged for 10 years prior to finishing in Mike’s custom casks. This Firkin Ten Linkwood was distilled at Linkwood Distillery, in the Speyside, in 2010. In 2020, it was bought by Mike and transferred to his hybrid, Madeira-seasoned casks where it was finished for a further two years. Bottled with no chill filtering and absolutely nothing added other than the water used to bring it down to the bottling strength of 48.9%ABV. We’re FIRKIN proud to be first to bring this new expression to market in Australia, and we’re pretty FIRKIN chuffed at the price we’ve got it for you as well! -
Now, the whisky business doesn’t get much more serious than the Remnant Whisky Co…An EXCLUSIVE follow up to one of our biggest selling whiskies of 2022 – A mix of 10 year old Port and Sherry Casks and we’re excited to be releasing another bottling from these absolute angels of Australian whisky – The Remnant Whisky Co. Black Spot ‘SMWC #02’! This is the second release we’ve partnered with Remnant Whisky Co to bring to the Club. The first Remnant Black Spot we featured back in 2022 was an INSTANT SELLOUT and we have no doubt this one will follow suit. It’s a simply sensational 10+ year old Tasmanian whisky in a 700ml bottle at a better price than a 500ml Black Spot normally sells at! This month’s Remnant Whisky Co. Black Spot SMWC02 is blended from a selection of port and sherry casks all over 10 years old. Their abv’s at disgorging ranged from 66.2 to 42.1%abv but this whisky gem is bottled at 48.1%abv. -

An EXCLUSIVE 700ml Whisky Release from an Australian DEDICATED PEATED Whisky Distillery! A distillery that has definitely made a big impact on the Aussie whisky scene in the relatively short while they have been trading. The first, a dedicated PEATED whisky distillery – Kinglake and their O’Grady’s Stand SMWC Special 700ml Edition. We’ve been chatting to Kinglake Distillery since before they released their inaugural whisky back in 2021, and we’re stoked to finally be able to collaborate with them on a special release – a SMWC exclusive release – the Kinglake O’Grady’s Stand SMWC Special 700ml Edition. Now Kinglake distillery have a lot of ‘firsts’ and ‘one of very few’s’ to their name. They are the first (and currently only) ‘Carbon Neutral’ distillery in Australia. They are one of the very few that use completely untreated, unfiltered water sourced from a spring on their own property. Kinglake are also one of the very few Aussie whisky distilleries that are open-fermenting their wash, thus incorporating local wild yeasts into their flavour profile. -
An multi-award winning ‘Scandi-Dram’, all the way from Denmark that Jim Murray declared “”What on Earth is this? Whisky-lovers will kill their mothers for a bottle of this. This could possibly become some of the world’s best peated whisky.” – Behold a very differently peated Single Malt – Stauning ‘Smoke’! A virtually unfiltered whisky matured in a mix of bourbon, Madeira, Jamaica Rum and Virgin American Oak casks for your drinking pleasure.- World Whiskies Awards Best Danish Single Malt 2022

A 7+7 triple maturation (Apera, then first fill Apera, then maple syrup) release from an Indy Bottler who’s first releases have propelled the brand to near-cult status amongst lovers of Aussie whisky – The Whisky in Isolation ‘Magnificent Seven’ Now the ‘Magnificent Seven’ is a whisky from a distillery the Club is very familiar with – Chief’s Son. To date, our club has featured the oldest maturing cask of Chief’s Son on no less than two previous occasions with two of the ‘Family Casks’ (filled by the children of Stuart) – the Aiden and the Cameron. This Whisky in Isolation Magnificent Seven is now the THIRD time we’ve featured the oldest Chief’s Son ever bottled!OUR TASTING NOTESNose: Absolute masses of stewed fruits that you’d imagine from an Apera aged, then finished whisky. Justin mentioned a ‘rummy note’ and I get what he means – there’s a little funk in this nose! (..and I always thought Justin was a metal guy!) But there’s also some bubble gum notes there, as well as a definite hint of unburnt tobacco and a bit of peanut brickle too. Palate: Just as thick and rich a mouthfeel as the colour alludes to. A peppery burst (but surprisingly little at 58%abv - almost none with a ‘bloop‘ of water added) at first – but then an absolute WALL of flavour explodes on your palate. BIG stewed sultanas, prunes and raisons. And the flavours keep coming in waves. Candied citrus rind and a creamy note transform into an almost savoury, charcuterie note which then morphs into nut-butter. Finish: So chewy and warming. It’s all of the above – but slowly fading out as they cry ‘another… another… ‘. At the very end there’s a distinct nuttyness. This is a big, layered and immensely luxurious whisky. So massive in colour, mouthfeel and flavour, with delicious fruit and cream and all those things we’d expect from an apera aged and finished whisky- yet with a ‘sweet and fat sultana-ey shoulders’ reminiscent of a botrytis cask aged whisky I recently tasted. -
The worlds very first Ocean Aged Matched Boilermaker. Let us introduce the second component to our ‘Ocean-Aged Matched Boilermaker’ - the BEER. Or in this case the Iron House Portside Red Ella Red Ale (in MASSIVE 440ml cans). Now Iron House make some sensational beers but the Red Ale is Iron House’s most popular beer. Now ‘our’ Red Ella has a little something extra - namely 6 weeks aging in one of the barrels that the ‘Portside’ whisky came out of before going into the can. You can tell ours are different because each 440ml can has our SMWC logo on it, and Iron House have bumped the abv up just a notch over normal to 5.2%abv. And, let’s face it - where else BUT the SMWC are you going to get a matched-pair like this!? -
From two absolute Scottish whisky legends – the Caol Ila distillery in Port Askaig and independent Bottler Signatory Vintage, this month a classic 11-year-old non-chill-filtered Islay spirit/bourbon single malt for the ages – From their ‘Un-Chillfitered Collection’ – The Signatory Vintage Caol Ila 2012! The Signatory Vintage Caol Ila 2012 is distilled in the Caol Ila distillery in Port Askaig, Islay. It is a blend of 5 ex-bourbon hogsheads, all laid down together in June 2012 and bottled (without chill-filtering) in July 2023 giving an 11 year old, sublimely peated whisky. Signatory Vintage is recognized as one of the world’s leading independent bottling labels. Their ‘Un-Chill Filtered Collection’ is particularly notable for its dedication to preserving the natural flavours and characteristics of whisky by avoiding chill filtration, a common process in the whisky industry. -
With our Milk and Honey/Westward collaboration as the Malt of the Month for September, we thought it a perfect opportunity to introduce Westward Single Malt Whisky to our members...and we don’t know a better way to get to the heart of a distilleries product than to try a cask strength bottling…which is exactly what we’ve done. As the name suggests, this is the Cask Strength release of Westward’s flagship ‘Original’ single malt whiskey. Distilled from a locally grown and malted barley mash, fermented using a craft ale yeast. Double pot-distilled and then matured in heavily-toasted, lightly-charred virgin American oak casks. This is a superbly rich and complex whisky for sure. The unburnt tobacco notes - that present all throughout this whisky - really bolster it’s huge and immensely satisfying flavour profile...but does so without making it formidable on the palate. There’s just no harshness at all in this 62.5% whopper of a whisky. -
An EXCLUSIVE WORLD FIRST...a MATCHED PAIR from Tassie heavy hitters – Iron House. Both exclusive to the SMWC, both absolutely stunning in their own right, each one half of a world first – an Ocean Aged Matched Boilermaker! The Iron House Maverick Portside Single Malt Whisky and the optional matched Iron House Portside Red Ella Red Ale with the Red Ale being finished in the very same Portside whisky barrels! The Iron House Portside Ocean Aged Single Malt Whisky started its journey as ocean-side matured Iron House whisky – distilled in Feb 2019. A bit over a year ago it was decanted into some port barrels and strapped outside the port side of the wheelhouse of the Tasmanian abalone boat ‘Maverick’. For the next twelve months it braved over two-and-a-half thousand nautical miles of the worst that the Southern Ocean, Bass Strait and the Tasman Sea could throw at it. 6 metre seas, Antarctic storms, barometric range between 910 to 1040HPa etc. This isn’t just easy drinking whisky, this is easy-peasy drinking whisky. So many layers of flavours here to chew and cogitate on at length – fruits, spices, nuts, sweet, salt… even umami – but on the surface it’s just sooo damn easy to drink. Once again, the Iron House boys have really excelled with this novel, big-flavoured and muscular, yet genuinely easy-going whisky. -
Please be upstanding for the world premiere of a new era of collaboration between Milk and Honey (M&H) and the powerhouse American single malt distillery – Westward. Two of ‘worlds whiskies’ major power players have instigated a ‘barrel swap program’ – and your not-so-little whisky club has the world exclusive first release from this partnership – Welcome to the Milk and Honey Westward Cask! A whisky that reflects this sunny and fresh season perfectly. A whisky full of the bright notes of spring. Green citrussy piquancy, big yellow malty notes and an orange-y apricot jam tang is just the beginning of what’s to be had in this one. A whisky from a company that has absolutely blown the world away since they burst onto the world whisky stage a little over 4 years ago with a string of medals, including the World Whisky Awards ‘Whisky of the Year’ in 2023. A whisky that, simply put – we are incredibly proud to have our logo featured on – The Milk and Honey Westward Cask! A super easy-dramming whisky that is just as well behaved on the palate as it is bursting with all those American oak notes we love so much. Super creamy, big citrus flavours and more vanilla than an M-rated sex scene – alongside those delicious jammy bursts – make this a simply stunning whisky. The 57% abv is just so well integrated – best you remind yourself you’re drinking some ‘grown up whisky’ here because your palate simply won’t notice how strong this is. It’s just sooo easy to drink…and drink…and you know where this is going… -
