Words from Hilton, our Head Distiller…
“Woah! From a thought bubble almost 10 years ago to my first Single Malt Whisky release, it has been quite the journey. The result is only 137 bottles and probably a few of them will end up being used for tastings. So get in quick and buy what I’m sure will become a collector’s piece.
Every step in making this whisky was done the hard way, lifting bags of barley to pour into the mill using bicep power (my how my muscles burned), watching the grist swirl in the mash tun as it hydrated and converted to maltose and dextrins (sugars), getting excited as the yeast started working, producing volumes of carbon dioxide, and the satisfaction of distilling twice and tasting the new make before pouring it into 20L barrels. I am so stoked and can’t wait to release the next batch in 2025 and make more and more and more.”
