The Hobart Fire Brigade Recreation Club – 110th Anniversary Single Malt Whisky

The Hobart Fire Brigade Recreation Club was established on August 20, 1912, and quickly became a significant entity in the day-to-day social life of the Hobart Fire Brigade, organising dances and social events, and football and cricket matches.
Today the Club contributes to fire station life by providing recreational and sports equipment and organising social events for Hobart Fire Brigade Recreation Club members and our families.
On August 20, 2020, the Hobart Fire Brigade Recreation Club’s 108th Birthday, the Club commissioned the Old Kempton Distillery to fill five 20-litre casks with new-make whisky spirit with the intent of commemorating the Club’s 110th Anniversary exactly two years later in 2022.

The Club chose locally sourced port casks to mature the whisky, bringing notes of dark fruits, pantry spices and hints of dark chocolate. We decided that the best alcohol percentage for our whisky is 55%, co-incidentally, this is “110 proof”, and fitting for our 110th Anniversary.

This commemorative 110th Anniversary whisky is from one batch, making it unique to us, the Hobart Fire Brigade Recreation Club
