Cape Byron Distillery continues to push the boundaries of innovation in the spirits industry with the launch of a new expression of its acclaimed whisky. This latest offering, the Mac Liqueur Cask Whisky, showcases a unique maturation process in casks previously utilized to age Brookie’s Macadamia and Wattle Seed Liqueur (Mac Liqueur).
Blending tradition with innovation, the Mac Liqueur Cask Whisky boasts tasting notes that evoke a delightful combination of milk chocolate, cereal sweetness, and buttery macadamia flavors. The journey begins with ex-bourbon casks initially filled with Brookie’s Mac Liqueur, known for imparting its distinct character to the distillery’s Barrel Aged Mac. Subsequently, these casks are filled with Brookie’s mature single malt whisky, enhancing the depth and complexity of the final product.
Eddie Brook, Distiller and CEO at Cape Byron Distillery, shares his enthusiasm for the new whisky, stating, “As macadamia farmers with a deep commitment to rainforest regeneration, crafting our Mac. Liqueur Cask evokes nostalgic memories of my childhood surrounded by the rich aromas of roasted macadamias. We embarked on this journey with curiosity, and the result is truly exceptional.”
The Mac. Liqueur Cask promises to captivate whisky aficionados and enthusiasts alike, offering luxurious milk chocolate aromas complemented by hints of orange marmalade on the finish.
For those eager to savor the unparalleled taste of Mac. Liqueur Cask Whisky, a limited release of only 550 bottles will be available for purchase starting April 29th. Enthusiasts can acquire this exclusive offering at select retailers, premium bars, and directly from Cape Byron Distillery. Priced at $149.99 with an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 45%, each bottle embodies the essence of innovation and craftsmanship synonymous with Cape Byron Distillery.
