Bakery Hill Blunderbuss Limited Edition Single Malt Australian Whisky (500ml) - Second Edition

This is the second release of 'Blunderbuss', a collaboration between Bakery Hill Distillery and Hop Nation Brewery of Footscray in the west of Melbourne. For the last three years, Hop Nation have produced an Imperial Stout beer - The Kalash - which has spent many months in Bakery Hill whisky barrels to produce a unique and rich flavour profile. The distillery have reclaimed a number of these barrels -freshly emptied of beer, and refilled them with six year old Bakery Hill 'Classic'. The whisky has then spent time finishing in the ex-stout barrel before decanting and bottling. For the 2022 vintage they've dialled up the intensity with a bold 58% abv, and have extended the maturation in stout barrels to two full years. The resulting spirit serves up a kaleidoscopic sensation of wonderfully dense and rich whisky. One barrel only was released (approx 250 bottles). Very limited stocks.
