Release 4: Tawny cask expression
Special Release: Tawny cask with AGAVE cask finish

If you are a fan of super-premium single malt whiskies, you’re going to love what we’ve been up to here at Winding Road.  Our unique, flavourful and full-bodied expression has been receiving rave reviews!

We hand-craft our single malt from start to finish.  Beginning with a carefully selected and unique mash bill of seven different malted barley varieties, we mill the grain then mash in hot water to extract the fermentable sugars.  From there, the ‘wort’ undergoes a deliberate and patient ferment after which it is twice distilled in our custom 1,250 litre copper pot still.  The ‘hearts’ of each batch are then matured in a curated selection of oak barrels.  Only when the time is right and they are ready will we bottle them for you to enjoy.

We are truly excited to share these special expressions with you!

Our unique and very flavourful single malt spirit, with rich notes of toffee and chocolate on the palate followed by a long finish, has received rave reviews from those who have sampled it.
