Battery Point Distillery Islay Cask #2 Single Malt Whisky 500ml

BPD ‘Islay Cask #2’ is the second release from Battery Point Distillery, showcasing the versatility of their new-make spirit. Maturing in casks sourced from two of the giants of Scottish Single Malt Whisky—Laphroaig and Lagavulin—this whisky is further balanced with a dash of second-fill Port and Sherry casks. Remarkably, no peated grain is used in this whisky; the subtle peaty character comes entirely from the exceptional casks. The nose greets you with buttery smooth notes of nougat, manuka honey, peanut brittle, and a hint of smoky bacon. On the palate, expect rich flavours of Werther’s Original caramels, maple syrup, and pine needles, finishing with a delightful touch of peat-smoked almonds. It’s truly spectacular. Bottled at a robust 62.3% ABV, this limited release consists of just 371 bottles.

Jack Lark’s visionary approach to cask and barrel influence continues under Luke Lawrence and the production team. Their new-make spirit, known for its oily, malty, and slightly fruity profile, serves as the cornerstone of Battery Point Distillery’s whiskies. Using 100% Tasmanian malt mash and pure Tasmanian water, each batch offers a unique expression, ensuring that no two releases are ever the same.
