This whisky was made using the casks of the dearly departed Illawarra Plum spirit, a unique, locally harvested and barrel aged fruit liqueur from the earlier years of Headlands production. The result is a wild and unique spirit that is at its heart, a whisky, but carries deep flavour influences from the plum spirit. With only 399 bottles produced, this limited run celebrates some of the most unique spirit produced in the last few years.
“The release of this whisky was planned for many years. We patiently waited (sampling the cask each year) until it was brimming with complexity. It is a whisky which is much greater than the sum of its parts. We can’t wait to share a completely unique Australian native single malt, single cask whisky with you.
Tasting notes include a distinct bush tucker plum character, sugarbag honey, vanilla bean, caramel apple and subtle smoked oak”
Headlands Distilling Co. began in 2015 when a group of science, engineering and business graduates started Wollongong’s first distillery, with a grain-to-glass mindset for their spirit, and plenty of local influence with regards to their gins and liqueurs. Come 2020, Headlands Single Malt was released, quickly becoming a hit in the growing local scene. Their focus on incredibly high quality base spirit, and a well planned cask regime has seen the quality of their whisky only improve in the years since its first release.
