An exceptionally rare piece of Tasmanian whisky history, this release marks the very last cask bottled under The Small Concern Company’s stewardship of the Cradle Mountain brand. At the time of bottling it stood as the oldest Tasmanian whisky to reach the market. Matured for 17 years in barrel No. 7321 (filled November 1997) and bottled at 43% alc/vol, it captures a singular moment in the evolution of modern Australian whisky.

Cradle Mountain

Cradle Mountain was originally developed by The Small Concern Company in Tasmania, and later revived under new ownership within the Tasmanian Australian Heritage Collection. The label is often cited as Tasmania’s oldest commercially produced single malt—an early standard-bearer that helped set the stage for the state’s now-renowned whisky scene.
