A Truly Australian Single Malt Whisky

Our Special Reserve Series is where we showcase one-off whisky bottlings that celebrate the best of our grains, barrels and craftsmanship at Backwoods Distilling Co.

This ultra-limited release is made from 100% Australian barley, smoked with native red gum wood and matured for five years in American oak casks that previously held corn whisky. The result is a beautifully perfumed, smoke-driven single malt with rich fruit, buttery depth and lingering campfire character — a whisky that’s unmistakably Australian.

With fewer than 200 bottles produced, this is one of our smallest releases ever — a true collector’s bottling.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Crafted with 100% Australian-grown barley, smoked with red gum wood for a nostalgic Aussie flavour profile

  • Matured for 5 years in American oak ex–corn whisky casks, adding layers of sweetness and complexity.

  • A smooth yet expressive single malt with notes of perfumed smoke, rich fruity honey, ripe cherry, toasted almond and tobacco, finishing long with browned butter and campfire smoke.

  • Part of our acclaimed Special Reserve Series - previous releases have taken top honours including Best Australian Single Malt at the Australian International Spirits Awards.

With fewer than 200 bottles available, this is a super-limited release for collectors and lovers of distinctive Australian whisky.
