Adelaide Hills Distillery 78 Degrees Native Grain Whiskey 700ml

ABV: 40%

A uniquely Australian whiskey from the Adelaide Hills distillery, this is the new-for-2021 core range expression under the 78 Degrees label.

In formulating their whiskey, Adelaide Hills noted than most of Australia's whisky production was modelled on Scottish single malt. In order to create a whiskey that represented their surrounds, they decided to look in their own backyard for grain. Using local South Australian barley (the longitute and latitude of which are on the bottle) they also use a portion of un-malted - or green - barley alongside specialty malts Biscuit, Supernova, Redback, Toffee, Crystal and Chocolate.

Distilled in a single-shot style through their hybrid still, it is then matured in 200 litre ex-wine casks, both American and French oak.
