Heartwood A Serious Whisky is a powerful, fully peated Tasmanian single malt brought to life by independent bottler Tim Duckett in one of his boldest creations to date. For this limited release, Duckett married a second-fill peated sherry cask from Adams Distillery with a richly seasoned sherry cask from Launceston Distillery, producing a whisky of immense depth, smoky intensity, and raw, cask-driven character. Bottled at a formidable 60.5% ABV and limited to just 290 bottles, it embodies Heartwood’s fearless philosophy big flavours, uncompromising spirit, and unmistakable individuality. Known for crafting some of Australia’s most sought-after independent releases, Heartwood has achieved cult status under the guidance of Duckett, who is celebrated for selecting extraordinary casks and pushing Australian whisky boundaries. A Serious Whisky marks Heartwood’s first full venture into peated whisky, making this release a milestone in both the brand’s evolution and Tasmania’s whisky history. Combining the strengths of two respected distilleries with Duckett’s signature blending style, this rare bottling delivers a smoky, sherried, and intensely expressive profile that collectors and enthusiasts will recognise instantly as Heartwood at its finest.
