Our signature single malt

Exceptional length thanks to the red wine barrels. Bright aromatic notes of red berries, orchard fruits, vanilla, caramel and soft oak spice. Smooth and complex when sipped neat. Shines in classic cocktails. Works exceptionally well with food.

We go local

We source barrels from wineries in the nearby Yarra Valley and Barossa Valley so they keep their fresh red wine flavour profile. Then, they’re lightly charred or steamed. Often, the barrels are still wet with wine when we fill them.

For us, it's all about the flavour. As we fill our barrels at a lower alcohol proof than other single malts, our whisky takes in all the more red wine fruit characters and tannins.

Tasting notes

Nose / Like we took bright flavours of red berries and orchard fruit and coated them in soft oak spice.


Palate / Imagine a rich red berry pudding covered in vanilla, caramel and spice.


Finish / Balanced and long. The sweetness fades and the delicious flavour goes on.

Nova borrows from tradition but breaks away from it too

Nova is matured exclusively in red wine barrels from wineries making great Australian shiraz, cabernets and pinot noirs. This whisky reflects Melbourne in every sip. From the vibrant foodie scene to the wild weather to the world-class, cool climate wine.
