In 2019 we sought more body and texture in our new make spirit. We started experimenting with different craft yeast and the results exceeded expectations. With this rich spirit we filled heavily charred 10L and 20L South Australian brandy barrels at 64% abv. Halfway through maturation the spirit was reduced to 58% and married together in ‘Eirene’ a 2nd fill 100L ex Pinot Noir French oak barrel. With only 61 bottles of Eirene produced, this release was not made public. 

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Rhubarb & apple pie, vanilla custard, dark plum, cherry & cinnamon.
