That Boutiquey Whisky Co - Fleurieu 3 YO Single Malt Batch 2 500ml

"A welcome return to one of our Australian distilleries from our first series.

Fleurieu, around an hour south of Adelaide, is run by husband and wife team Gareth & Angela Andrews. They have a great following in Australia. Being ex-brewers they work with a variety of malt types, including some which are commonly used to brew real ales. They run an 8 day long ferment, using brewers yeast, as opposed to distillers. Their still design is modelled after Gareth’s favourite distillery, Caol Ila. There’s a noticeable salinity to some of their whiskies, which comes from being next to the sea.

Their casks are all named after either members of the extended family, or characters from famous films.

Our second cask from Fleurieu is one of their peated malts. It’s been matured in an ex-Apera cask named “Mary Ann Watkins”. It’s a 3 year old that we’ve been bottled at natural cask strength 65% abv
