Ancient Wisdom

Coffee Whisky 700mL

THE BIRTH OF COFFEE WHISKY



One evening, a cellar apprentice mistakenly filled barrels that had once held coffee extract with new-make whisky. The mistake was eventually identified; the whisky had already absorbed bitter, coffee-derived phenolics and darkened. Over the years, the bitterness faded, revealing a distinctive flavour profile. The rich aroma of coffee beans melded seamlessly with the whisky's spicy, nutty notes, creating an unexpected yet harmonious combination that pleasantly surprised all who tasted. Curiously, Ash, the distiller, chose to bottle this accidental creation. It quickly gained popularity among Melbourne whisky enthusiasts, who appreciated its unique flavour profile. This Coffee Cask Whisky has since become a sought-after delicacy, demonstrating that the best discoveries are sometimes made by chance. This limited-release Coffee Whisky is in a league of its own, made exclusively for coffee-loving Australians.
