Thanks to everyone who has supported us over the last 2 years, we couldn’t have done it without you! #whiskycommunity #h17 #tasmanianwhisky #launcestondistillery

03.01.2022 Flashback to us poking around in @launcestondistillery bond store last June when we first sampled this months exclusive release. After a sensible (excessive) a...mount of sampling we settled on 2 Tawny casks XX175 & XX177. They stood out as both the richest and smoothest of the bunch and the caramel, maple and oak notes popped and lingered on the pallet like no other. Deliciousness!! We’ve had a lot of fun here once or thrice since!! Grab a slice of the pie by hitting up the link in bio.
