Wildness Distilled
At the northern edge of Tasmania lies King Island, a remote haven shaped by the relentless Roaring Forties winds. These powerful westerlies sweep unbroken across the vast Indian Ocean, bringing some of the cleanest air and purest rainwater on Earth. This rainwater is harvested by CLOUD JUICE, offering a uniquely soft, low-mineral character that enhances the whisky it touches.
King Island Rain cask distilled in 2017 and matured in a bourbon cask is a testament to this purity. This single malt whisky is cut with King Island rainwater, resulting in a spirit as refined as the wilderness it comes from. The rain’s super-low mineral content creates an extraordinary mouthfeel, balancing richness with a velvet softness that evolves with time.
On the nose, sweet crème anglaise weaves through delicate notes of guava and lychee, with a freshness reminiscent of dew on citrus leaves. The palate is silky and rich, unfolding in layers of baked peach, spiced pear compote, and a whisper of fennel seed for depth. A long, graceful finish lingers with toasted brioche, white chocolate sauce, and zesty nectarine—an echo of the island’s wild beauty.
