Octave Barrels – 2026 Release

Single Malt Whisky
700ml / 48%

Regular price

    Two Australian icons, together in one cask.

    For our second release with Yalumba, Australia’s oldest family-owned winery, we fully matured our signature Australian single malt whisky in fresh and charred 100L Octave barrels that previously held Yalumba’s iconic The Octavius Shiraz.

    Filled in 2018 and matured for a further five years since the first release, this whisky has developed into a richer, more layered expression, with notes of rhubarb, date and coconut. The finish is long and elegant with velvety tannin. 

    Rich, layered & unmistakably Australian.

    Handcrafted at the Yalumba Cooperage in the Barossa Valley, these exceptional casks create a more intense exchange between oak and whisky. Fresh Octaves bring bright notes of marshmallow and raspberry, while the char adds depth and refined structure.

    Colour / Auburn

    Aroma / Raspberries, Vanilla, Red Liqourice

    Palate / Rhubarb, date, Coconut, petrichor

    Finish / Long with well intergrated fruit, oak and velvet tannins.

    The second chapter of Octave Barrels.

    This release continues our collaboration with Yalumba using the very same liquid from the original Octave Barrels release — now matured for an additional five years.

    Made from 30% Fresh Yalumba Octaves and 70% Charred Yalumba Octaves, time has transformed the whisky from an oak-forward style into one of greater elegance and complexity. Fresh Octaves brighten the aroma with marshmallow and raspberry, while charred Octaves provide depth, body and refined tannin structure, resulting in a whisky that showcases the remarkable influence of barrel size and extended maturation.
