Heartwood – founded by Tim Duckett – is arguably Australia’s most lauded independent bottler, having bottled a number of Tasmanian whiskies in the modern industry’s formative years. Known for his unorthodox techniques of blending casks, beating his whisky with a paddle, rolling casks into the sun-exposed “hot box” of his warehouse – some Heartwoods are considered by whisky lovers to be amongst the best Australian whiskies ever released.
