Furneaux is whisky from the edge of the map — Flinders Island, where wild Bass Strait winds meet stubborn Tasmanian grit. Their Sawyers Bay expression is a lesson in restraint: a clean, unpeated single malt matured in second-fill casks that once held softly peated spirit. The result? A bright, fruit-forward dram with just the faintest wisp of smoke, perfect for those who claim they “don’t like peat” — until they try this.

Nose:
Bright pear, cream, and white grape with a drizzle of honey, plus the gentlest hint of coastal smoke.

Palate:
Golden syrup sweetness, toasted oats, milk tea richness, and soft orchard fruit, wrapped in a touch of spice.

Finish:
Light, lingering, and ever so subtly smoky, with a soft cereal warmth.
