1st Life:
These casks are coopered from extremely unique, authentic and highly sought after ex-Madeira Port Casks from Portugal. Madeira is a fortified wine produced on the Portuguese island of Madeira. It is known for its unique aging process called estufagem, which involves exposing the wine to heat and oxygen. This deliberate “cooking” process gives Madeira its distinct flavors of caramel, toffee, and roasted nuts.
2nd Life:
These ex-Madeira Casks were then brought to Tasmania and coopered down to 30L shaved and charred by Australia's own Tasmanian Tiger Cooperage in Pontville, Tasmania. These smaller barrels have since held Callington Mill Distillery finest Single Malt Whisky for a few years.
Recently disgorged, these barrels smell devine with the remnants of the finest well rested Madeira with its distinct flavours of caramel, toffee and roasted nuts and bold overtones of Callington Mill Single Malt Whisky.
