Eight years in first fill American oak ex-bourbon casks, finished in American oak casks seasoned with Communion’s Baltic Porter Beer, and married on 23 April 2026. Deep chocolate and coffee lifted by fizzy lemonade and raspberry jam croissant on the nose; robust toasted oak, dark chocolate, roasted malts, a whisper of smoke, and coffee-caramel confectionery on the palate; a lingering complexity that invites further exploration on the finish. From the split label and dripping black wax to the red cross, every detail has been built to sit at a long table in the dark, surrounded by the weird and the strange. Miss this one and the FOMO will be real.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep, dark amber — the rich, dramatic colour of an 8-year-old Tasmanian single malt finished in Baltic Porter beer casks, with the depth and intensity that first fill American oak ex-bourbon maturation and a festival-inspired aesthetic demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAroma\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep notes of chocolate and coffee are lifted by fizzy lemonade and raspberry jam croissant — a complex, surprising, and genuinely distinctive bouquet that rewards time in the glass, revealing a subtle earthiness that adds layers of complexity.
