Tasmanian Independent Bottlers The Blend #3 Tasmanian Whisky 46.8% ABV 500ml

Heartwood's Little Brother - TIB - Independently Bottled Tasmanian Whisky - The Blend #3

The TIB Blend #3 (Oat + Malt + Peat) has hit our shelves. For this expression, Mr H has sourced spirit distilled from two Tasmanian distilleries - Adams & Belgrove, and then matured and blended the oat and malt spirit in 2nd fill Sherry casks at his bond store outside of Hobart.

It has been matured in sherry oak and peated casks in combination with whisky from Belgrove oat casks. The blend of malt and oat with peat makes for a textured and complex whisky, while remaining at a friendly drinking 46.8% ABV.

Distilleries: Belgrove Distillery – Oat, Adams Distillery (2nd Fill Sherry) – Peat + Malt

TIB is run by local alchemist Tim Duckett, producer of the famed high-octane Heartwood brand, who has created TIB to offer a more gentle style of whisky with less 'mongrel' than the Heartwood releases.

He sources spirit from Tasmania, mainland Australia, and New Zealand based on its texture and flavour profile. It is then matched to a specific barrel type. Currently they have selected 13 barrel types for maturation of the spirit including: Sherry, Port, Bourbon, Muscat, Botrytis, Virgin oak, Re-educated 2nd fill, Rum, Bourbon Rum, Sherry Rum, Tokay, PX, Rye, Whisky & beer. Also they will  have oats, rye, & apple spirit. Exciting times.

TIB was awarded Independent Bottler of the Year (non scotch) Independent Bottlers Challenge from the Whisky Magazine and Australian Producer of the Year from the Wizards of Whisky.
