Bakery Hill That Boutique-y Whisky Company Batch #1 Single Malt Australian Whisky 5 Year Old
In stock
Founded in 1999, and run by ex-High School chemistry teacher David and his son Andrew. Family run, small batch, with a focus on quality over quantity.
Bakery Hill buck the trend of many wine-cask driven Australian whiskies, favouring predominantly ex-bourbon barrels. These allow for a longer maturation, without the spirit becoming overwhelmed by the hot temperatures and cask influence.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Sunlit gold with honeyed amber depth and a warm coppery edge.
Nose
Vanilla and coconut rise with creamy depth from light, toasty oak. Bright citrus zest and green apple refresh the nose, while a delicate almond note and gentle spice hint at bourbon-influenced maturation. A youthful, vibrant bouquet, balanced and polished, with the warm, sunny character of Australian maturation.
Palate
Rich, creamy palate of vanilla bean from ex-bourbon oak, toffee and a whisper of coconut, layered with gentle spice—cinnamon and white pepper—bright citrus zest fades to warm caramel. Silky mouthfeel, balanced and approachable, with a lasting, softly oaked finish.
Finish
Silky vanilla and caramel linger into a long, warm finish, carried by creamy toffee and a kiss of oak. Bourbon sweetness fades to subtle biscuit and light citrus zest, with a gentle spice that lingers. Balanced, refined, and warming without overpowering the whisky’s delicate fruit.
