Sometimes no matter how hard you try to control the variables, things go pear shaped. Some of those “mistakes” turn out to be serendipitous discoveries.
Back in 2018/ 2019, we trialled various yeast strains before settling upon one that suits our style perfectly. We were seeking quality of flavour vs. the higher quantity yields that the bland distillers' yeast provides.
What is amazing about Single Malt Whisky is that adding water does not merely dilute it (reduce the abv and “thin out” the flavour) but actually changes the flavour profile considerably.
Our next release is ready and waiting
“People who don’t think they like whisky will like this,
People who like whisky will love this, and
People who love whisky will drink this all day long”
Dear friend,
Welcome to the first instalment of Distillers’ Diary. I’m Dale Williams and together with my wife Claire we create Eden, Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky on our small family farm at the foothills of kunanyi/Mt. Wellington.
