- Introducing something very special… Buckner’s 15 🥃🇦🇺

The 15 year is a single barrel of unfiltered Cask Strength Bourbon and optimises the “Bourbon, Uncompromised” motto we love from Augusta. It’s one of the many gems in the Buckner’s lineup we introduced last week.

It’s incredibly rare to see a 15 year old Kentucky Bourbon in Australia, especially a single barrel expression like this. Reviews, awards and commentary across the industry suggests these 15 years are a special, memorable pour and one you’ll want to savour for a long time to come. 15 year. Kentucky. Cask Strength. We cannot wait.

Numbers of this one will be limited but we are working hard to ensure as many people as possible get to try this release, whether it’s events, tastings or your local bar. Our launch events for Augusta will be announced over the coming weeks so stayed tuned.

The shipment is very close now too so you can expect big updates from us over the next few days… exciting times ahead 🇦🇺

- Introducing Old Route 8 🇦🇺🥃

Named after a beautiful stretch of road that runs along the Ohio River, Old Route 8 is the flagship offering from Augusta Distillery and the first release we want to share with you. From Old Route 8, you can expect an exceptional 8 year, single barrel bourbon, always unfiltered and always cask strength. Since its launch in 2023, Old Route 8 has won a number of awards, seen many single barrel picks across the US and established a reputaton of delivering a quality Kentucky Bourbon.

Some of you may remember that we poured Old Route 8 at last years American Whiskey Show in Sydney, Australia. It was a great opportunity to see what the market thought and we received lots of positive feedback on the day with many wishing it was available for purchase. We left knowing that Old Route 8 had a place in the market here.

On the nose, you can expect baking spices, stone fruit, pie crust and a hint of oak. The palate delivers a familiar Kentucky hug with a wave of brown sugar, vanilla custard, baking spices and apple.

The release embodies the “Bourbon, uncompromised” motto we love from Augusta Distillery 🥃

Four Gate - Kelvin Collaboration V

Distilled in Kentucky
Blend of 7, 8 and 9 year Kentucky Straight Bourbon
7 and 8 year mash bill: 74% corn, 20% rye, and 5% malted barley,
9 year mash bill: 78% corn, 10% rye and 12% Malted Barley
58.5% ABV
4,802 total bottles

The Kelvin Collaboration series is a signature release from Four Gate and looks to showcase their close relationship with Kelvin Cooperage. Releasing every year just before the Kentucky Derby, this is the fifth release in the series and highlights the capability of Four Gate when it comes to sourcing, blending and finishing.

This particular batch sees Four Gate blend together 7, 8 and 9 year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskeys. The 7 and 8 year share the same mash bill of 74% corn, 20% rye, and 5% malted barley, and the 9 year uses 78% corn, 10% rye and 12% Malted Barley. The blend is then finished in two different casks, an Australian Mariposa Sherry and a Añejo Dark Rum. The release yielded a total of 4,802 bottles and is now available through Honey Barrel.

The feedback we have received in Australia so far has been fantastic, with the Collaboration V being a standout for many in 2023. It’s a credit to Four Gate that they can blend three different Bourbons, finish them twice and create a product as good as this. It’s a complex, bold Whiskey that we believe offers something for all whiskey drinkers and we are excited to hear what you think!

Nose:
Chocolate, almonds with hints of dark stone fruit and cherries

Taste:
Oak, crème bruleé, molasses, dark stone fruits, chocolate & baking spices

Finish:
Long and lingering, sweet fruits and molasses continue for days
