Full rum cask maturation, which is a first for the distillery.
The rum cask has been on quite a journey. It was initially a bourbon cask, previously containing Buffalo Trace, before making its way to Beenleigh Artisan Distillery - one of Australia’s oldest liquor brands - to age some rum. The cask finally headed to the Tasmanian Cask Company to re-cooper into a small format cask.
Spirit driven, this whisky benefits from plenty of time in the glass.
Bottle Size: 500ml
ABV: 56% ABV
Outturn: 38 bottles
Distillery Tasting Notes
Nose: Sugar cane straw, caramel, toasted coconut, dried apricot, and shaved oak
Palate: Rich and mouth filling with brown sugar, more dried apricot transitioning into dryer oak and spice
Finish: Nice dry finish with plenty of oak and mixed spices.
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: Straw bales and cut grass before, with time in the glass, vanilla bean, white chocolate and lavender come to the fore
Palate: Floral and herbaceous upfront before unripe banana fudge kicks in with a hint of juicy fruit gum.
Finish: Mentos and white pepper, just a touch of grapefruit, and a lingering, underlying fudgey sweetness

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. 🥃

Store owner replied: We are so excited to be on the back bar at Bo Gurks mate! Thanks for supporting local. Love your work 🥰
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.
