Product Information:
A must-try for whisky enthusiasts, Triple Cask is Battery Point Distillery’s signature single malt whisky, renowned for its complexity, maltiness, balance, and harmony. Crafted to be a staple whisky, it offers remarkable consistency from batch to batch. On the nose, it opens with rich notes of vanilla and bourbon, evolving into sweet aromas of Persian rose fairy floss, orange peel, and a hint of marzipan nuttiness.
Distilled by Jack Lark and blended by Louis Duckett, Triple Cask is a harmonious blend of multiple bourbon, sherry, and tawny casks. The result is an easy-drinking yet complex whisky, with an ABV ranging from 45% to 50% depending on the batch. This particular batch is bottled at 46.4% ABV.
Jack Lark’s creative approach to cask influence is carried forward by Luke Lawrence and the production team. Their focus on crafting rich, oily, malty, and slightly fruity new-make spirit forms the foundation of Battery Point Distillery’s whiskies. Made from 100% Tasmanian malt mash and pure Tasmanian water, each batch offers a unique experience, showcasing the distillery's attention to detail.
Maker:
Battery Point Distillery was founded out of a passion for Tasmania’s rich history and the art of whisky distillation. Located in the heart of Hobart’s historic Battery Point, the distillery specialises in small-batch, handcrafted whiskies matured in carefully selected sherry, tawny, and bourbon casks. Established by Jack Lark, son of Australian whisky pioneer Bill Lark, the distillery is now led by Luke Lawrence, who continues to uphold the high standards of quality. Each batch of whisky reflects the unique characteristics imparted by single, double, or triple cask ageing, providing contemporary expressions of Tasmania’s rich distilling heritage.
Philosophy:
Battery Point Distillery is nestled in Lenna, a grand mansion built by seafaring merchant Alexander McGregor, which overlooks Hobart's docks and has been a symbol of wealth since the mid-1800s. Today, the distillery occupies a humble, vine-covered shed on the property, quietly producing fine whisky while nearby pubs bustle with life. Inside, a locally built still and a collection of 60-litre barrels sit next to the weathered desk where the head distiller crafts the next batch. The distillery’s philosophy revolves around respecting traditional distillation techniques while pushing the boundaries with small-batch, innovative whiskies that capture the essence of Tasmania.
