Released on 15 February 2017, this expression represents a true paddock-to-bottle creation crafted entirely by hand by master distiller Peter Bignell. Every stage of production—from growing and malting the rye on-site to fermenting, distilling, maturing, and bottling—took place completely on the distillery farm, making it one of Australia’s most authentic grain-to-glass spirits. This rare release quickly sold out upon its debut, cementing its status as an investment-grade cornerstone of Tasmanian whisky history that perfectly embodies an uncompromising, sustainable approach to craft distilling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNOTE: Product has come from a private collection.
