ARID-AGED WHISKY


Arid-aged. SINGLE MALT. Unmistakably Outback.

Matured in ex-Bourbon and Oloroso casks, this arid-aged Australian single malt whisky is shaped by the extreme climate of the Outback.


Scorching days, cool desert nights and dramatic pressure swings work on the barrel every day it matures, driving depth, structure and complexity that is unique to this place.

THE SPIRIT

Arid-Aged Single Malt is an Australian whisky shaped entirely by climate.


Matured in Western Queensland in ex-Bourbon and Oloroso casks, it ages under dramatic temperature swings and low humidity. Summer heat drives the spirit deep into the wood, while cooler nights allow it to settle and integrate.


Arid ageing is not a shortcut. It is a different maturation environment, producing colour, character and intensity at a pace uncommon in cool-climate distilleries
.


"The harshest environment is also, unexpectedly, the most instructive... this 'arid ageing' produces a remarkable early colour and a level of complexity that can compete with far older pours."

Maxim Donni, Australian Financial Review, on The Outback Distilling Co.
