Their mountain-born single malt, finished in native Red Gum timber casks — dense, stubborn, and rarely touched by coopers — the result is unmistakably Australian. Not polished. Not tamed. In the blood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaspberry liqueur and dark chocolate. Immediate, distinctive, and unlike any other Kinglake expression. The Red Gum influence is apparent from the first nose — earthy and structured, with a fruit-forward lift that surprises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePalate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChocolate, young pinot noir, and pink grapefruit. Medium-bodied with a structured, grippy texture that reflects the density of the Red Gum timber. The finish is long and layered — dark beer, clove, malt extract, cumin, and black cherry — ringing out like feedback after the last note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFinish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong and structured. Dark beer, clove, malt extract, cumin, black cherry. This is whisky that doesn't resolve quickly — it grinds out a full-tilt riff and lets the feedback ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eServing Suggestion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeat. At room temperature. Allow to rest in the glass before nosing — the Red Gum character opens considerably with time. This isn't the dram you sip politely by a fireside. It's the dram you pour after a long mountain hike, or after a gig when your ears are still humming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePairs With\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmoked meats, aged hard cheese, dark chocolate, and native Australian ingredients. The structured Red Gum character pairs beautifully with bold, savoury flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout This Release\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Gum isn't your average timber. It's dense, stubborn, and unforgiving — most coopers won't touch it. Kinglake and their coopers did, and the result is unmistakably Australian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name says it all. In the Blood isn't just branding — it's a provenance statement. Bushland, spring water, pollen, and the grit of Red Gum woven into a single expression. Some whiskies are learned behaviours. This one's instinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from scratch in the Kinglake Ranges, from mountain stream water and locally sourced barley. Finished in native Red Gum timber.
