The sequel to the highly-praised, quick-selling 'Mull It Over' - a whisky matured in a 1st fill American Oak Bourbon cask and finished in a new Mulberry Wood cask: an Australian first!

This time we have taken a 2nd fill American Oak Bourbon cask and matured the spirit for two and a half years. This has then been transferred to the Mulberry Wood cask that finished the first whisky. We have doubled the length of the finish and left the spirit for just shy of 7 months.

The mulberry wood cask is from a boutique Italian cooperage that hand makes barrels, in only small quantities, from raw mulberry wood they have personally sourced and selected from sustainable cultivation areas in France and Hungary. We have resized the barrel and added a light char.

We have increased the bottling strength from the original release from 55% to 58% abv, as this is where we feel the best flavours and mouthfeel are achieved. But feel free to add water to find your own sweet spot - it swims very well!

No other distillery in Australia has yet released a Mulberry Wood cask whisky, so this remains a first for us and the Kinglake team.

Bottle Size: 500ml

ABV: 58%

Outturn: 75 bottles 

Our Tasting Notes:

Nose: Earthy at first, like a damp rainforest floor; then sweet vanilla and bright orchard fruit notes

Palate: Malted honeycomb with a chewy mouthfeel; aromatic lychees bringing additional sweetness, floralness and a touch of acidity

Finish: A rich, long finish of Black Forest cake with smoked chocolate ganache

Distillery Tasting Notes:

Nose: Tobacco, Earth and Leather; Stewed Fruit; and a hint of Redskins

Palate: At first all the usual ex-bourbon characteristics of vanilla, toffee caramel and cinnamon

Finish: Then the mulberry influence brings rhubarb notes. The mouthfeel becomes oily and viscous before slightly medicinal peat rounds things out

A very happy accident! Delicious, tropical and fruity. A great addition to the collection.

What an absolute cracker of a whisky! 10 out of 5 I've had some great Australian whisky and Justin continues to deliver top shelf drams....incredibly top....top of the top!! From the first sip, I knew this was another winner. Beautifully smooth, rich and creamy, with a sweetness that gives way to a slightly salty finish. At 55%, it's got plenty of punch, but it's so well balanced that it's dangerously easy to drink. Just a seriously enjoyable whisky that keeps you coming back for another sip...and why it sits right next to my 'thinking' chair! I managed to grab two bottles, one to enjoy now and one to put away for later...which may end up being sooner than later! Justin, you've absolutely knocked this one out of the park. This is exactly why I love your whisky. Well played. An absolute belter. 🥃

Customer photo review of You Don't Know Jacques (Hobart Whisky)

I first tasted this whisky at Whisky on the Murray and it doesn’t disappoint when opening my bottle. There is sharp oak from the French oak cask but mellowed by the ex Bourbon cask finishing.

Store owner replied: Great to meet you at Whisky On The Murray mate. Hopefully see you next year? Excellent photos too!

There are not enough superlatives for Supernova. Quite simply Justin has raised the bar yet again. This one will not last very long.
