Woodwater Whisky 'Release #4 Muscat Cask' Various Size Samples

Introducing the first vatted whisky, matured solely in rich South Australian Muscat Casks. It is the heaviest cask influenced spirit from Woodwater to date.

This bottling is a wonderful marriage of two differing cask journeys…

Journey 1: Starting in a 100L first-fill Hardy’s Muscat cask from McLaren Vale, this whisky aged for 2 years and 10 months.

Due to issues with leakage, the spirit was re-casked into a 100L Dutschke Muscat barrel from the Barossa region.

The total maturation time for this journey was 4 years and 2 months.

This journey makes up 91% of the final whisky vatting.

Journey 2: Starting maturation in a 225L first-fill Barossa Muscat cask, a portion of this spirit was transferred into a first-fill 20L Seppeltsfield Muscat cask after 3 years, and was then left to keep maturing for almost two more years.

The total maturation time for this journey was 4 years and 10 months.

This journey contributes 9% of the final whisky blend.

The use of double casking and the combination of different cask sizes contributed to the creation of this weighty and distinctive whisky.

This release showcases deepened fruit notes, along with a chewy yet dark backbone, and a complex flavour profile that will be especially appealing to those seeking a richer, more intense whisky experience.
