Destiny
Amber Lane’s first distillery release.
In search of the perfect dram, Amber Lane master blender Rod Berry has brought together the very best sherry and bourbon casks to create what many are describing as “one of the best first releases ever for an Australian distillery.”
Silver Medallist (Single Malt Whisky): 2022 Tasting Australia Spirit Awards.
There will only ever be one first release for Amber Lane Distillery, and this bottling has all of the hallmarks of a release that will go down in Australian whisky history as defining a new style of Australian whisky. Many are describing it as distinctly "Speyside" in style. Presented in a generous 700mL bottled at 50.6 ABV%, this is a rich and delicious dram that has amazed many with its complexity and balance. Amber Lane has found a delicate balance between malted whisky aged variously in Australian Apera, PX Sherry and Bourbon casks to produce perfection in the glass.
Writes Matt Bailey, National Direction of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society (Australia):
"It's no surprise that Rod (Berry) has taken inspiration from his learnings at the Society and his deep love of whisky to create Amber Lane. An impressive finish, a nice healthy proof of 50.6%, and a nice balance of flavours like apple pie, sweet barley sugar, Nutri-grain and cotton candy. An Australian whisky first release from large casks, big flavours, and a cracking kickoff into the scene. Well done Rod and team!"
